Zhukov Scoops Massive Hand

Viacheslav Zhukov has just taken down one of the largest pots of the day, managing to scoop the following hand against Roch Cousineau. Zhukov had the button and raised it up to 225,000. Cousineau called and then both players checked the {5-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{9-Spades} flop.

On the {4-Spades} turn, Cousineau bet 350,000 and Zhukov called. The {5-Spades} river would see Cousineau again bet, this time a pot-sized 1,150,000. Zhukov called and the two players turned over their hands.

Cousineau: {8-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}
Zhukov: {a-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{10-Spades}{6-Spades}

Zhukov's hand was enough to send Cousineau's straight into the muck as Zhukov again has a big chip lead.
