Demirkol, Sokharev Get Their Short Stacks In
Level 22
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Action folded to Toni Kaukua in the small blind who moved all in. Mehmet Demirkol only had around 80,000 left in the big blind and called for the rest of his stack.
Mehmet Demirkol: 9?4? 
Toni Kaukua: Q?2?
Kaukua was ahead with queen-high as the board ran out 2?J?K?3?6?, giving him a pair of deuces while Demirkol couldn't connect and was sent to the rail.
At the same time on another table, Boris Smuskevicius shoved the small blind and Sergei Sokharev called for 280,000 in the big blind.
Sergei Sokharev: K?Q?
Boris Smuskevicius: A?8?
Sokharev took the lead on the K?8?10? flop with a pair of kings and stayed in front on the 5? turn, but the river was the A? to give Smuskevicius a pair of aces as Sokharev headed for the payout desk.
