Chernikov Sends Chisu to the Rail

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

There was already 350,000 in the pot on a board of {4-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{a-Diamonds}{10-Spades} when Aleksandr Chernikov bet 150,000 and was called by Ara Melkisetian.

Danut Chisu, in the big blind, then moved all in for 300,000 and Chernikov immediately pushed a tower of chips from his massive stack in the middle to call. Melkisetian angrily flung his cards away.

Danut Chisu: {a-Hearts}{2-Hearts}
Aleksandr Chernikov: {a-Clubs}{9-Spades}

Chernikov had made two pair and left Chisu drawing dead. The {2-Spades} on the river also gave Chisu two pair but it wasn't enough to avoid him hitting the rail.
