Zavoloka Flops the Jackpot to Survive
Level 27
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Nichan Khorchidian raised to 120,000 from early position before Mikhail Zavoloka three-bet to 500,000 from cutoff, leaving himself just 50,000 behind. Leonid Orman then four-bet shoved for 1,400,000 out of the small blind, and Khorchidian got out of the way. Zavoloka quickly called off the rest of his stack, and the cards were tabled.
Mikhail Zavoloka: 7♥7♦ 
Leonid Orman: Q♠Q♥
Zavoloka was trailing but hit jackpot on the 7♣6♠4♦ flop, improving to a set of sevens. The board ran out 9♥K♥, and Zavoloka secured the double-up.
