Alalam's Journey Comes to an End
Level 25
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Aleksandr Chernikov raised to 80,000 from early position and Changyang Liu called from the next seat. Bakhos Alalam squeezed all in from the button for 975,000, which forced the rest of the table and Chernikov to fold. Liu thought it over and then stuck in the call.
Bakhos Alalam: J♣10♣ 
Changyang Liu: A♦Q♠
Liu made the right call and was ahead with ace-high, but Alalam had a hand with a lot of potential on the runout.
A flop of 3♠K♥7♠ fell, keeping Liu in the lead. The rest of the board came 9♦4♦, and all of Alalam's stack was absorbed into Liu's.
