Golubchik Stays Alive With a Set
Level 17
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Artur Martirosian raised to 175,000 under the gun with Youness Barakat calling in the cutoff, Oswin Ziegelbecker calling from the small blind, and Eugene Golubchik defending from the big blind.
Ziegelbecker led out for the pot of 750,000 on the 4♣K♥6♥ flop and Golubchik called for his remaining 340,000. Martirosian and Barakat folded, and the players flipped up their cards.
Eugene Golubchik :9♣6♠6♦5♠ 
Oswin Ziegelbecker: A♠K♦10♠5♣
Golubchik's set managed to stay as the best hand through the 8♥ turn and Q♠ river, and he almost tripled up to roughly 1,300,000.
