Gravham Hits the Dream River to Survive
Level 11
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Aleksandr Kirichenko made it 50,000 to go from under the gun with Seyed Ghavam calling from middle position and Onur Ozgur defending his big blind.
Ozgur checked, and Kirichenko continued with a bet of 75,000 on the J♣10♥3♣ flop. Ghavam called and Ozgur folded.
The 7♥ hit the turn and Kirichenko bet enough to put Gravam all in. Gravham called for his last 300,000 and the cards were tabled.
Seyed Ghavam: A♦10♦ 
Aleksandr Kirichenko: K♣J♥
Kirichenko was ahead with top pair against the second pair of Gravham. As Gravham started to get out of his seat, the dealer dropped the A♠ on the river to improve him to two pair, earning him the double-up.
