Arkhipov Spikes a Queen to Double Off Kornuth
Level 7
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Chance Kornuth raised to 26,000 in the cutoff and Ilia Arkhipov moved all in for 295,000 in the big blind. Kornuth quickly called.
Ilia Arkhipov: Q♣9♦ 
Chance Kornuth: J♦J♥
Arkhipov had been caught making a move, but the Q♦10♠3♦ flop bailed him out as he hit top pair. The 9♣ turn gave Kornuth outs to a straight, but Arkhipov dodged the 4♠ river and doubled up.
"It's not bad if you know the queen is coming," a tablemate said.
