Russian to Victory

Although not the bubble hand, a significant pot played at the same time between Evgeny Serebryakov and Steve Gross. The board read {Q-Spades} {10-Clubs} {6-Clubs} {3-Hearts} {A-Hearts} and the Russian checked the river, Gross bet 11,500 and was slightly flummoxed when his opponent now reraised all-in for about 15,000 more.

Gross made a reluctant call and was shown {Q-Hearts} {Q-Diamonds}. He mucked his hand, but the TD flipped over the {A-Diamonds} {J-Diamonds} since the hand had gone to showdown.
