Shabalin No More

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Rustam Kuliev opened to 2,500 and Vladimir "shabalinvlad" Shabalin shoved for 22,200 from the hijack. Chris Moneymaker asked for a count and called on the button, while everyone else got out of the way.

Chris Moneymaker: {7-Spades}{7-Clubs}
Vladimir Shabalin: {A-Hearts}{K-Spades}

It was a classic coin flip and Shabalin improved to a pair of aces on the {A-Clubs}{J-Clubs}{4-Diamonds} flop. The {10-Spades} on the turn was no threat, however, a cruel {7-Diamonds} on the river gave Moneymaker a set and Shabalin the walk from the feature table.
