Shcherbakov's Set of Snowmen Melt Mooney's Two Pair
Level 23
: Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante
From early position, Kirill Shcherbakov made it 325,000 to go with Geoffrey Mooney calling out of the cutoff, and Boris Kolev defending from the big blind.
After Kolev checked the 6♣7♥K♠ flop, Shcherbakov bet 275,000, which only Mooney called.
Heads-up to the A♥ turn that checked through for the 8♥ to land on the river. Shcherbakov burned through a time bank before jamming for 1,970,000. Mooney immediately called.
Shcherbakov tabled 8♠8♣ for a rivered set, and this earned him the double-up as Mooney revealed A♣7♣ for aces up.
