Sergey Hovakimy

Nicholas Doumkos opened to 800,000 from early position and Sergey Hovakimyan moved all in from the small blind for 1,175,000. Doumkos called to put Hovakimyan at risk.

Sergey Hovakimyan: 10?10? All in
Nicholas Doumkos: A?K?

It was a classic preflop flip that Doumkos caught the better of on the K?Q?3? flop. He remained ahead when the rest of the board ran out 4?2? to send Hovakimyan to the rail and collect a sizable pot.

Doumkos Snaps Off Hovakimyan

Level 30 : Blinds 150,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

Nicholas Doumkos had opened from early position and received a call from Sergey Hovakimyan in the big blind.

The flop came A?Q?2? and Hovakimyan check-called a 300,000 continuation bet from Doumkos.

Both players checked the 8? turn leading to the K? river. Hovakimyan moved all in, covering Doumkos who had exactly 1,000,000 behind. Doumkos snap-called and turned over K?K? for a rivered set which was good enough to score a full double up.
