Mamikonyan Puts a Dent in Turuskan's Mountain
Level 29
: Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Kerem Turuskan opened the button and Paruyr Mamikonyan shoved from the big blind for 1,880,000. Turuskan called.
Paruyr Mamikonyan: A♦6♣ 
Kerem Turuskan: A♥8♠
Mamikonyan decided to take a stand against the chip leader but was the favorite to be the first player eliminated at the final table. However, the runout of 5♣J♠6♠7♥7♦ improved Mamikonyan to trips, which earned him a double-up.
Mamikonyan might say that's karma for Turuskan cracking his ace-king with ace-queen earlier.
