Papazian Turns the Nuts to Bust Chernikov
Level 3
: Blinds 300/700, 700 ante
Bogdan Jontulovic opened under the gun to 1,700 before Aleksandr Chernikov three-bet to 7,000 from middle position. Alexandru Papazian called on the button, and Jontulovic folded.
Both players checked the Q♠5♠J♥ flop to see the 10♣ land on the turn. Chernikov checked again, and Papazian fired out roughly 10,000. Chernikov check-raised to 41,000, and after Papazian saw Chernikov only had a few chips remaining, he shoved to put Chernikov all in. Chernikov called.
Aleksandr Chernikov: Q♥Q♦ 
Alexandru Papazian: A♥K♥
Chernikov had flopped a set of queens, but Papazian turned Broadway to have taken the lead. Chernikov couldn't find a board pairing river as a blank fell, and he was sent to the rail.
