Shornikau Comes From Way Behind
Level 34
: Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante
Maksim Shornikau shoved from under the gun for 2,400,000 and Nicolas Chouity shoved from the small blind.
Maksim Shornikau: 7♦4♦ 
Nicolas Chouity: Q♥Q♣
Shornikau was in trouble with two undercards, but found sanctuary on the 4♠4♣6♣ flop as he made trips. A J♣ on the turn didn't make things easy as Chouity picked up a club flush draw, but the A♥ river was clean for Shornikau, and he doubled up.
