Korchagin Runs Into Aces; Jakovljevic Busts to Barsegian

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

With 220,000 already in the pot on a board of {3-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{3-Clubs}, Benjamin Hammann bet 150,000 from middle position and was called by Evgenii Korchagin in the blinds.

The river came the {4-Diamonds} and Hammann pushed forward a stack of chips to put Korchagin all in. Korchagin tanked for about two minutes before called off his last 200,000. Hammann turned over {a-Diamonds}{a-Spades}.

"Nice hand," Korchagin said as he flashed {9-}{9-} before heading to the rail just short of the money.

At the same time on another table, Aleksandar Jakovljevic bet 150,000 on a board of {a-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} before Eduard Barsegian moved all in. Jakovljevic called for his last 600,000 with {a-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}, but Barsegian had made two pair with {a-Spades}{10-Hearts}.

The river came the {7-Hearts} and Barsegian collected the massive pot.
