Level 27 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante
Aleksandr Shevelev
Aleksandr Shevelev

With {j-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} having flopped, the blinds checked to Aleksandr Shevelev in the cutoff, and he bet 150,000. Jaime Kaplan called in the small blind and big blind Ahmed Amin made it 650,000. Shevelev jammed for 1,465,000 and Kaplan shipped as well, for 2,395,000. Amin thought awhile but decided he couldn't get away.

Ahmed Amin: {q-Clubs}{7-Clubs}
Jaime Kaplan: {5-Spades}{4-Spades}
Aleksandr Shevelev: {q-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}

Kaplan had the best of it and it stayed that way on the {3-Spades} turn and {7-Diamonds} river. Shevelev wished everyone good luck and Amin sent over a good chunk of his chips.
