Chernikov Fills Up on the River to Stun Sapiano
Level 5
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Albert Sapiano three-bet to 6,000 in the cutoff and Seref Anar called on the button before Aleksandr Chernikov made it 27,000 in early position. Both Sapiano and Anar called.
The flop came A♦6♥6♦ and Chernikov bet 25,000. Only Sapiano called to see the K♦ turn, where Chernikov moved all in for 90,000. Sapiano snap-called.
Sapiano showed 7♦3♦ for a flush, while Chernikov was at risk holding K♠J♣ for two pair. The K♥ fell on the river to give Chernikov a full house as he earned a massive double up.
