Shornikau Spikes the River
Level 26
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Maksim Shornikau opened to 160,000 from the button with A♦10♠ and Shuang Luo defended from the big blind with J♣3♣.
The flop came Q♠J♥4♠. Luo checked, Shornikau fired a 135,000 continuation bet and Luo called.
Shornikau bet again for 375,000 when checked to on the 6♦ turn and once again Luo called with second pair.
The river was the K♣ giving Shornikau the nut-straight. Luo checked and Shornikau moved all in, covering Luo's remaining stack of 1,100,000. Luo opted to fold and Shornikau took down a decent pot.
