Vanush Mnatsakyan

Golom Lakkhosravi raised to 6,000 from under the gun. Aleksandr Chernikov three-bet to 16,000 from the hijack and action folded to Vanush Mnatsakyan in the big blind who shoved. Lakkhosravi asked for a count and the dealer confirmed Mnatsakyan had 59,100 behind.

"It's my first hand after reentering..." Lakkhosravi sighed before making the call.

Chernikov decided to also shove for more, having both Mnatsakyan and Lakkhosravi covered. Lakkhosravi sighed once more before making the call.

Vanush Mnatsakyan: {8-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}
Golom Lakkhosravi: {10-Hearts}{10-Clubs}
Aleksandr Chernikov: {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}

Mnatsakyan got up from his chair immediately.

The board ran out {4-Diamonds}{q-Spades}{6-Clubs}{8-Spades}{q-Hearts} for Mnatsakyan to turn a set and improve to a full house to triple up so he sat back down. The rest of Lakkhosrvi's stack went Mnatsakyan's way and Lakkhosravi made his way to the cashier to reenter once more.
