Aleksandr Chernikov raised to 3,500,000 before Orthodoxos Orthodoxou three-bet to 10,000,000. Chernikov then moved all in for 22,500,000 and Orthodoxou called.

Aleksandr Chernikov: {q-Hearts}{q-Clubs}
Orthodoxos Orthodoxou: {a-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}

Chernikov was ahead and in line for a double up to retake the lead when the {a-Spades} came in the window, followed by the {k-Hearts}{7-Spades}. Orthodoxou ran away from the table and pumped his fist at the sight of the ace that gave him the lead and a chance to win the title.

The board ran out {6-Hearts}{2-Hearts} and Chernikov finished as the runner-up.

"Cyprus Bear is the winner," the new champion yelled.
