Hajj Gives Most of It Back to Zavoloka
Level 17
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
A few hands after busting Nuri Hadiolgu, Alain Hajj and Mikhail Zavoloka became tangled in a massive pot that saw Zavoloka get his 550,000 in the middle from the cutoff as Hajj put him at risk from under the gun.
Mikhail Zavoloka: K♠K♦ 
Alain Hajj: Q♥Q♣
Hajj had run his queens into Zavoloka's kings and found no help on the 10♣2♦4♥4♦8♠ board as Zavoloka doubled up in a more than 1,000,000-chip pot, leaving Hajj nursing an extreme short stack.
