Shornikau Rises From the Ashes
Level 30
: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Maksim Shornikau limped in from the small blind and Aleksandar Tot raised to 650,000 from the big blind. Shornikau moved all in for 2,750,000 and Tot called with a covering stack to put Shornikau at risk.
Maksim Shornikau: 7♥7♣
Aleksandar Tot: A♠Q♥
Both players connected with the A♥7♦8♣ flop but Shornikau was well ahead with a set of sevens. The 2♣ turn left Tot drawing dead and after the Q♣ river Shornikau scored another full double up while leaving Tot with just six big blinds.
