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: K♦K♥ 
Maksim Shornikau: A♦K♣
Gunes was way in front with his pocket kings and they maintained their lead through the J♥8♣9♦ 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.
