Boris Smuskevicius moved all in for his last 640,000 from early position and Aleksandr Chernikov quickly flicked in a chip to call from middle position.

Boris Smuskevicius: {a-Clubs}{7-Clubs}
Aleksandr Chernikov: {a-Spades}{q-Diamonds}

Both players hit an ace on the {3-Hearts}{a-Hearts}{10-Clubs}, but Chernikov's queen-kicker played as the board ran out {6-Spades}{k-Diamonds}. Smuskevicius tapped the felt and headed for the payout desk, while Chernikov cracked the 10,000,000 chip barrier.
