Level 21
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Roberto Romanello raised to 25,000 from early position, Ryhor Karapanau called in the hijack, as did Aleksandr Chernikov and Apoorva Goel, in the respective blinds.
The 6♣A♠10♣ flop checked through to the J♦ on the turn. Chernikov took the lead for 75,000. Goel and Romanello folded, while Karapanau raised to 180,000. Chernikov called.
The A♣ river saw Chernikov play out of flow, leading for 265,000. Karapanau thought for some time before choosing to make the call. Chernikov tabled Q♣8♦ for queen-high, while Karapanau won this pot with K♦Q♦ for the nut straight.
