Chernikov Fills Up on the River to Stun Sapiano
Level 5
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Albert Sapiano three-bet to 6,000 in the cutoff and Seref Anar called on the button before Aleksandr Chernikov made it 27,000 in early position. Both Sapiano and Anar called.
The flop came A?6?6? and Chernikov bet 25,000. Only Sapiano called to see the K? turn, where Chernikov moved all in for 90,000. Sapiano snap-called.
Sapiano showed 7?3? for a flush, while Chernikov was at risk holding K?J? for two pair. The K? fell on the river to give Chernikov a full house as he earned a massive double up.
