Chernikov Makes Broadway to Survive
Level 9
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Mircea Flutur raised to 3,000 ffrom middle position with Aleksandr Chernikov calling from the next seat before Darius Neagoe squeezed to 13,000 from the hijack. Flutur folded, but Chernikov made the call.
Chernikov immediately shoved for 29,000 when the flop of 8♥Q♣4♠ was put out and Neagoe called.
Aleksandr Chernikov: J♠10♣ 
Darius Neagoe: A♥Q♦
Neagoe was way ahead with top pair as Chernikov only had a gutshot straight draw. However, the A♦ turn improved Chernikov to an open-ender which he managed to spike on the river when the 9♣ fell.
