From A to Z for Andrey Zaichenko

Andrey Zaichenko just experienced the ups and downs of no-limit hold'em in two successive hands.

We picked up the first one on the river. The board showed {A-Hearts}{7-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}. With the pot already large, Joe Commisso made a 75,000 bet and Zaichenko called. Commisso showed {A-Clubs}{7-Hearts}, and Zaichenko mucked. Commisso was up to 470,000, while Zaichenko had slipped to 70,000.

On the next hand, Zaichenko pushed all of his chips in from the cutoff with {5-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} and was called by Philip Sparta who held {J-Clubs}{J-Spades}. Zaichenko had Sparta covered. The flop came {5-Clubs}{Q-Spades}{5-Spades}, giving Zaichenko quads and a lock on the hand. Sparta is out, and Zaichenko is back up to 140,000.
