Ivanov Holds On to Double Off Chauskin
Level 22
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Heads-up on a flop of A♦5♥4♦, Aleksandr Ivanov got his last 800,000 in from the small blind against Natan Chauskin on the button.
Aleksandr Ivanov: 3♦2♦ 
Natan Chauskin: 5♦5♠
With his dad looking on from the next table over, Ivanov showed a flopped straight and needed to avoid the board pairing against Chauskin's set of fives. The 3♣ fell on the turn, followed by the Q♠ river as Ivanov Sr. let out a big fist pump as his son doubled up.
