Tikhov Doubles via Pop
Level 18
: Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
Ivan Tikhov opened to 32,000 under the gun, and Catalin Pop defended the big blind.
Pop check-raised over a continuation bet from Tikhov on the Q♠3♠2♥ flop, and called off versus Tikhov's three-bet jam of 472.000.
Ivan Tikhov: A♠J♠ 
Catalin Pop: 3♣2♣
Pop had two pair but was up against Tikhov's flush draw, and it was instant service as the 10♠ hit on the turn to put Tikhov in front.
Pop could not fill up to a full house on the 4♦ river.
