Sharoian Hits a Higher Two Pair
Level 18
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
There were already around 120,000 chips in the pot on a board of 5♦A♦J♥7♣ when Zaza Gachechiladze bet 50,000, and Arkadii Sharoian shoved for 100,000. Gachechiladze called.
Arkadii Sharoian: A♣J♠ 
Zaza Gachechiladze: A♥7♥
Sharoian was a huge favorite to double up with a higher two pair and just needed to fade a seven on the river to do so. Gachechiladze was hoping for a two-outer but instead the 2♠ completed the board, and the pot was pushed to Sharoian.
