Aibek Lekerov was on the button and was able to get all of his chips into the middle preflop against Josef Snejberg in the small blind. But when Snejberg revealed pocket kings, Lekerov was in bad shape with ace-queen at risk of elimination.
However, the board came down 
, to give Lekerov top pair and reduce Snejberg to just 200,000, as Lekerov propelled his chip stack up to 1.8m.
