Sokolovsky Gets Out of Jail

Level 36
: Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante

Alexander Sokolovsky made it 3,500,000 from under the gun and Xiaosheng Zheng shoved for over 11,000,000 from the next seat. The action folded back to Sokolovsky, who immediately called for his remaining 2,500,000.
Alexander Sokolovsky: A♥K♠
Xiaosheng Zheng: A♠A♦
Sokolovsky was in a deep, dark hole and didn't get much help on the 8♠5♦4♣ flop. However, an opportunity to escape elimination came on the 3♠ turn as both players picked up a gutshot.
"Deuce!" shouted Muhtar Taysi.
Taysi must be able to see the future as the 2♣ rolled off on the river, which meant the pot was chopped and Sokolovsky escaped elimination.
