Shornikau Reclaims the Lead

Level 30 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Maksim Shornikau opened to 600,000 from the button and Shuang Luo moved all in from the big blind, covering Shornikau who had 4,700,000 behind. Shornikau called and was at risk.

Maksim Shornikau: A?2?
Shuang Luo: 7?7?

Shornikau was in terrible shape preflop but spiked an ace on the A?9?5? flop to take the lead. Luo could not catch a seven on the 5? turn and 10? river and Shornikau scored his third double up in quick succession, taking back the chip lead from Luo in the process.
