Chernikov's Aces Hold to Win a Massive Pot
Level 14
: Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Arriving at the table to see 300,000 or so was already in the pot on a board of 6♣10♣J♦9♠. Hassan Nashar checked from early position and Aleksandr Chernikov jammed for his last 142,000 from the button. Nashar counted out the chips and paused briefly before making the call.
Aleksandr Chernikov :A♥A♠ 
Hassan Nashar: 9♣5♣
Chernikov had aces, but if Nashar could find one of his many outs on the river, he would be the first player to move into the seven-figure club. However, the 7♠ dropped on the river and Chernikov won the pot of around 600,000 with his bullets.
