Zakharyan Has the Ace
Level 16
: Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
Aku Joentausta raised to 40,000 under the gun and was called by Veselin Karakitukov, Martin Kabhrel on the button, and small blind Vadim Zakharyan.
The flop came A♠A♣A♦ and Joentausta bet 16,000. Only Kabrhel and Zakharyan called to the 5♣ turn, where all three players checked.
Action checked around to Kabrhel on the 8♦ river and he bet 240,000. Zakharyan called for his last 130,000 and Joentausta folded.
Zakharyan showed A♥Q♠10♥2♣ for flopped quads and Kabrhel mucked. "Nice check," Kabrhel told Zakharyan.
Juergen Pollack and Omar Eljach were recently eliminated as the field inches toward the money and final table.
