Andrey Kotelnikov Doubles Up

Level 29 : 50,000/100,000, 10,000 ante

First hand after the break it folded to Andrey Kotelnikov who shoved for 540,000 and big blind Aleksandr Merzhvinskiy gave him a bit of a speech before calling.

Kotelnikov: {a-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}
Merzhvinskiy: {a-Spades}{2-Spades}

Lots of Choppertunities but a board of {k-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{5-Spades}{9-Hearts}{8-Hearts} saw Kotelnikov make a pair to double up.

Level: 29

Blinds: 50,000/100,000

Ante: 10,000

Level 28 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante

Merzhvinskiy: {8-Clubs}{4-Clubs}
Denisenko: {9-Spades}{9-Hearts}

The board ran out {2-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}{10-Clubs}.

A big dent in Merzhvinskiy’s shoving stack .
