Gofman Fails to Eliminate Another Player

Level 6 : 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

Christian Rudolph raised to 3,200 from mid-position and was called by the player in the hijack. Aleksandr Gofman three-bet to 13,200 from the button and Vanush Mnatsakyan called in the big blind. Rudolph folded and the hijack shoved for 34,300. Gofman called and Mnatsakyan folded.

Hijack: {a-Clubs}{10-Hearts}
Aleksandr Gofman: {8-Clubs}{7-Clubs}

The flop came {3-Spades}{6-Spades}{2-Spades} which didn't change the situation and kept the all-in player ahead.

The turn was the {a-Spades} which now gave the all-in player the pair of aces but it also meant that there were four spades on the board which meant that they could split the pot.

But the river was the {10-Diamonds} to give the all-in player two pair to double up through Gofman.
