Aleksandr Shevelev won Event 3 here last week, and he’s doing what he can to keep his chances alive in this Championship event, too.

Shevelev was down to 8,900 chips when he moved all in from early position holding Kc9c. An opponent behind him re-shoved, isolating himself against Shevelev with the dominating KdQc.

The Jd3d2c flop was pretty dry for Shevelev, but the turn Ac and river 7c helped. He ran down the nut flush, doubling up during the final level of Day 1.

Aleksandr Shevelev – 20,200 (20 bb)
