Kikh-ing Down the Competition

Aliaksandr Yalouskikh is up to 200,000 after tangling with another player on a {6-Hearts} {9-Spades} {6-Diamonds} {K-Spades} board. The other player bet out 16,200 and then called all in for 40,000 total to a push from big stack Yalouskikh. Yalouskikh turned over {A-Spades} {Q-Spades} and the short stack flipped a decidedly behind but still live {J-Spades} {10-Spades}; the river, though, was the {A-Hearts} sending the short stack to the rail.
