Isaia Hits the Rail at the Hands of Chernikov
Level 28
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Just before the break, a big hand happened on Table #2, which saw Alessio Isaia hit the rail.
Ma raised from the cutoff, and Aleksandr Chernikov called from the small blind. Isaia decided to squeeze all in from the big blind for 700,000. Ma folded, but Chernikov stuck in the call to put Isaia at risk.
Aleksandr Chernikov: A♦Q♥ 
Alessio Isaia: J♦8♥
Isaia was making a move, but Chernikov had flat called with a strong hand in the small blind. The 4♦4♠Q♦ flop gave Chernikov top pair, and meant Isaia needed running cards to survive. The 2♠ turn left Isaia drawing dead, as all of his chips were sent over to Chernikov once the 6♣ completed the board.
At another table Viacheslav Goryachev hit the rail and was also eliminated.
