Shornikau Finds a Three-Outer to Bust Gunes

Level 16 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Caner Gunes had his stack of around 250,000 in the middle from the button and was put at risk by Maksim Shornikau from middle position.

Caner Gunes: KK All in
Maksim Shornikau: AK

Gunes was way in front with his pocket kings and they maintained their lead through the J89 flop. However, Gunes was left with just a singular out when the A dropped on the turn as Shornikau improved to top pair. Only the case king on the river could save Gunes, but instead the 3 rolled off, which meant he was eliminated.
