Bochkarev Captures His Double Up

Level 14 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

With around 60,000 in the pot on a board of {k-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}, Yury Bochkarev moved all in for around 120,000 from middle position. Shmuel Madar, in early position, gave it some thought before calling to put Bochkarev at risk.

Bochkarev turned over {4-Spades}{4-Clubs} for a set as he took out his phone to take a picture of the board. Madar showed {k-Spades}{q-Clubs} and was already drawing dead before the {6-Clubs} fell on the river, shaking his head as he gave up the pot.
