Pavel Kovalenko and Nadar Kakhmazov Chop it Up
Level 12
: 1,000/2,000, 300 ante
Pavel Kovalenko raised to 4,500 from middle position and possible chip-leader Nadar Kakhmazov three-bet to 13,800. Kovalenko then four-bet to 22,300 and Kakhmazov five-bet all in, covering his opponent.
Kovalenko went deep into the tank before calling and looked relieved when he showed 
to his opponet's 
.
There was a bit of a sweat for both players with two diamonds on the flop of 
but the turn 
and river 
ensured that it was a chopped pot.
