Level 26
: Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante
Chipleader Alex Anton open-shoved on the button. Yue Zhao called for 1,800,000 in the small blind, and Maksim Shornikau decided to risk his 5,525,000 from the big blind.
Yue Zhao: Q♣2♦
Maksim Shornikau: A♣Q♥
Alex Anton: 10♠8♠
Zhao and Shornikau could not like the K♠6♦9♠ flop, as it gave Anton a plethora of extra outs. The 5♥ turn was not one of them, but the 7♠ river did.
The unstoppable Anton rivered a flush, scoring a double knockout and elevating his stack across the 50-million mark.
