Luchkou Doubles Through Stanciu
Level 30
: Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
Uladzimir Luchkou moved all in from the button for 3,100,000 and was called by Traian Stanciu in the big blind.
Uladzimir Luchkou: Q♠8♠ 
Traian Stanciu: A♥K♣
Luchkou was behind but had two live cards, and went ahead after the Q♣9♣2♣ flop gave him a pair of queens. He still had plenty of outs to fade with Stanciu holding the king of clubs.
To his delight, the 5♦ turn and 6♥ river were bricks and sent Luchkou a double-up.
