Shchukin Drills a King to Survive
Level 31
: Blinds 75,000/150,000, 150,000 ante
Nikolay Fal raised the cutoff to 300,000 and then called the shove of Oleksii Shchukin, who moved all in from the big blind for 750,000.
Oleksii Shchukin: K♣J♠
Nikolay Fal: A♦10♠
Fal was ahead, but it was Shchukin who took the lead as he paired his king on the Q♣4♣K♥ flop. Nothing changed on the 7♦2♥ runout, which kept Shchukin in contention.
