Volov Fails to Oust Polyakov

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Three players saw a flop of {9-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{q-Spades} spread across the felt and the player in the big blind checked. Oleg Polyakov moved all in for 15,600 into a pot of around 10,000. Vladimir Volov was int he next position and called, leading the big blind to quickly muck his cards.

Oleg Polyakov: {a-Spades}{q-Clubs}
Vladimir Volov: {3-Clubs}{5-Clubs}

Volov held a flush draw, but Polyakov stood firm with top pair. The turn was the {q-Diamonds} improving Polyakov to trips and the river {5-Spades} gave Volov a pair of his own, but it wasn't enough as Polyakov doubled up.
