Khorchidian and Orman Chop Up Ivanov's Stack
Level 28
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Leonid Orman min-raised from the cutoff before Vladislav Ivanov three-bet to 1,065,000 on the button, leaving just 25,000 behind. Nichan Khorchidian called from the big blind, and Orman moved all in for roughly 1,400,000. Ivanov put in his last chip, and Khorchidian called with the covering stack, looking to bust both opponents.
Vladislav Ivanov: A♣2♣ 
Leonid Orman: A♦K♠
Nichan Khorchidian: A♠K♦
With two players holding Big Slick, it looked like Ivanov would need help from a deuce or some clubs to survive. But the board ran out Q♣J♠Q♥4♥6♠, giving no one anything and keeping the two ace-kings in front. Ivanov was eliminated, while Orman and Khorchidian chopped the pot.
