Iakovlev Doubles After Wild Preflop Action
Level 4
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Mikhail Iakovlev opened to 12,000 in middle position, Lucas Greenwood called in the hijack, and Gabriel Shohet called in the cutoff. On the button, Andre Mayer three-bet to 58,000. Mikhail Iakovlev then moved all in for 396,000. Greenwood weighed his options before he elected to rejam as the covering stack. Shohet folded before Mayer put his face down on the table as he contemplated a seemingly brutal decision. Eventually, he folded what he said was Q♠Q♥.
Mikhail Iakovlev: A♥K♠ 
Lucas Greenwood: Q♦Q♣
It was the most classic of races until the K♦5♥3♠ flop vaulted Iakovlev into the lead and it stayed that way on the 3♦6♥ runout as he got a full double plus extra.
