Gumz Cracks Aces, Chernikov Eliminated
Level 22
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Aleksandr Chernikov raised in early position, which Fabian Gumz called in middle position before the big blind came along too.
The action checked to Gumz on an 8♦2♦5♠ flop, who bet 135,000. The big blind folded, but Chernikov check-raised to 550,000. Gumz moved all in for roughly 2,000,000, and Chernikov quickly called for slightly less.
Aleksandr Chernikov: A♠A♥
Fabian Gumz: 8♠8♥
Gumz had outflopped the pocket aces of Chernikov, and when Chernikov found no salvation on the Q♣ turn or K♠ river, his Main Event was over.
