Vasilii Leshchenko (pictured) raised from the cutoff, the player in the big blind three-bet shoved for roughly 170,000 and Leshchenko called with KhKc and a slightly bigger stack, leading his opponent’s AsKs.

The flop fell AcQc8c, giving the shorter-stacked player a pair of aces. Leshchenko did have a flush draw, though, and locked up the pot when the 2c turn fell. The river was a meaningless 9d, sending the field into the money.
