M'Hiri Bluffs Into Chernikov's Set
Level 18
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Aleksandr Chernikov made it 16,000 to go from hijack and Chakib M'Hiri three-bet the button to 42,000. When it got back to Chernikov, he called.
Both saw the 6♦5♣2♣ flop, where Chernikov checked it over and M'Hiri fired a continuation-bet of 32,000. Chernikov then raised to 77,000, which sent M'Hiri into the tank. M'Hiri had around 275,000 in his stack and decided he wanted to invest all of it and shoved. Chernikov snap-called.
Chakib M'Hiri: A♣J♠ 
Aleksandr Chernikov: 5♠5♥
M'Hiri was drawing dead to a chop, but the 7♦ turn left him out the door. A meaningless K♥ hit the river, and M'Hiri wished his tablemates good luck as he departed.
Chernikov, on the other hand, is up to around 1,250,000!
