Varnaev Doubles With Big Slick
Level 12
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Aleksandr Chernikov raised to 6,000 from early position and Sergei Varnaev three-bet to 24,000 on the button. Chernikov four-bet ripped it for roughly 110,000 and Varnaev called.
Sergei Varnaev: A♦K♣ 
Aleksandr Chernikov: A♥Q♣
Chernikov had slightly more chips than Varnaev, so Varnaev was the player at risk. Chernikov couldn't find the queen he needed to send Varnaev to the rail as the board ran out J♣8♣5♣5♠A♠. Varnaev doubled up, and Chernikov was left with crumbs.
