The flop came down {9-Spades}{j-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}. Chernikov continued for 300,000 and Livshitz called. The turn was the {8-Spades} to wet the board. Chernikov bet 300,000 again and Livshitz came along for the ride.

The river was the {6-Spades} to bring in the backdoor flush. Chernikov fired 550,000. Livshitz used up two time banks before he called.
