Metalidi Doubles Up Avramenko
Level 3
: 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Sergey Rybachenko opened the action with a raise from under the gun, and when the action folded around to Alexey Avramenko in the hijack, he moved all in for 240,000. Artem Metalidi was in the small blind and four-bet to 350,000 after he got confirmation of the all-in amount.
Rybachenko quickly folded and flipped over ace-jack off-suit, and the other two players revealed their hands for the showdown.
Alexey Avramenko: 
Artem Metalidi: 
Board: 
Avramenko found the ace he needed in the window and hit two pair on the flop. WSOP Main Event final tablist Metalidi was unable to spike a jack and surrender part of his stack to Avramenko who survived in unlikely fashion.
