Artem Vezhnekov Doubles Up

Level 14 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante
Artem Vezhnekov
Artem Vezhnekov

Andrey Chesnokov raised to 5,000 and got a caller in Artem Vezhnekov and the big blind. They saw a flop of {4-Diamonds}{q-Spades}{a-Spades} Chesnekov bet 12,000 and Vezhnekov was his only caller. The turn was the {q-Diamonds} and saw another bet from Chesnekov which Vezhnekov called. {5-Hearts} on the river and Chesnokov checked this time. Vezhnekov thought for a while and announced all in.

Chesnokov took his time and counted out the chips for a call. If he made it and was wrong he would be left crippled with only 30,000. Maybe the way the hand played out convinced him something fishy was up so he made the call. Vezhnekov tabled {a-Diamonds}{a-Hearts} to gasps from the table and despair from Chesnokov, who mucked. He certainly wasn’t beating that full house.
