Zhugralin Flops Top Two and Gets Max Value From Christoforou

There was a big pot brewing between Andreas Christoforou and Damir Zhugralin over on Table 14 on a board of A♦Q♥5♠8♣. With around 100,000 chips already in the pot, Christoforou checked the turn and Zhugralin fired a bet of 69,000. Christoforou thought for a while, then after confirming the bet size, he called.

A 2♣ landed on the river and Christoforou checked again, then Zhugralin quickly shoved for 136,500. Christoforou got the count and only needed around ten seconds before he flicked in the call, which created a pot of over 500,000.

Zhugralin flipped over top two pair with A♠Q♠ and Christoforou tapped the table before he was forced to expose K♦Q♣ for just a pair of queens.

A huge pot for Zhugralin, but diasater for Christoforou, who faces the upcoming bubble with a very short stack.
