Chernikov Comes From Behind to Double Against Hu
Level 22
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Zhewen Hu raised from under the gun to 60,000 and Aleksandr Chernikov shoved the small blind for 400,000. When it got back to Hu, he quickly called.
Aleksandr Chernikov: 5♠5♦
Zhewen Hu: J♥J♠
Hu had a chance to end play for the day and would do so if his pocket jacks held up against the fives of Chernikov. However, the dealer had other ideas as the 5♥A♥2♥ flop gave Chernikov a set, but also improved Hu to a flush draw.
A 3♠ turn put a wheel draw on board, and the A♦ river gave Chernikov a full house.
