Shchukin Doubles Through Erkmen
Level 29
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Oleksii Shchukin shoved from the small blind for 1,050,000 and Ufuk Erkmen took one peek at his cards in the big blind and called.
Oleksii Shchukin: A♦4♣
Ufuk Erkmen: K♥Q♣
Shchukin had the advantage, and kept it through the 9♣A♥J♥ flop as he paired his ace. Erkmen needed a ten for Broadway, but more outs arrived as the K♦ turn gave him a pair.
However, the 9♥ river was a brick, and Shchukin doubled up.
