Shchemelev Survives

Level 20

Stud

Phil Hellmuth completed with the {A-Hearts} showing, but after Owais Ahmed raised with the {10-Diamonds} and Vladimir Shchemelev reraised with the {K-Clubs}, Hellmuth stepped aside. Ahmed called Shchemelev's reraise. The pair would put in three bets apiece on fourth, then bet on fifth until Shchemelev was all in.

Ahmed ({10-Clubs})({8-Hearts}) / {10-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{Q-Spades}
Shchemelev ({9-Spades})({10-Spades}) / {K-Spades}{9-Clubs}{3-Spades}

Ahmed drew the {2-Spades} on sixth and {6-Diamonds} on seventh to finish with tens and eights. And Shchemelev picked up the {J-Clubs} and {K-Clubs} to end with a better two pair, kings and nines.

Shchemelev has 989,000 after surviving that one, while Ahmed has 1.91 million.
