Chernikov's Day Goes from Bad to Over
Level 29
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Aleksandr Chernikov raised from early position to 225,000, and Mehmet Deniz three-bet the small blind to 850,000. After the big blind folded, Chernikov called.
When the 9♥8♦3♦ flop came down, Deniz jammed for Chernikov's stack of around 1,700,000. Chernikov instantly called.
Aleksandr Chernikov: 10♥8♥ 
Mehmet Deniz: A♥Q♦
Chernikov was in the lead with second pair, but Deniz had two overcards he could hit to send Chernikov to the rail.
The A♦ turn catapulted Deniz into the lead with a pair of aces. A 4♥ on the river didn't change anything, and the start-of-day chip leader Chernikov was out.
