Chernyi Cracks Aces

Level 12 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Evgenii Chernyi's stack of around 115,000 got into the middle from the small blind, with the player in the big blind trying to win them with just a few more chips in his own stack.

Evgenii Chernyi: 9♥8♥ All in
Big Blind: A♠A♦

Chernyi had run into the preflop nuts and needed plenty of help from the dealer to survive.

He found an incredible amount of assistance on the Q♦8♣8♦ flop, improving to trip eights.

The player in the big blind was unable to find one of his two remaining aces on the 4♣ turn or 3♥ river, and the majority of his chips were shipped across the table to Chernyi.
