Mkhitaryan Scores Two Big Pots in a Row

Level 7 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

On the first hand the player in the cutoff, Aram Mkhitaryan raised to 1,000 and the button and both blinds made the call. The flop came out 492 and Mkhitaryan bet out 1,000 and the player on the button shoved all in for his last 16,000. Mkhitaryan made the call.

Button: K10
Aram Mkhitaryan: KQ

Both players had nada and that did not change on the turn 3 or the river 5 but Mkhitaryan's kicker came into play.
Mkhitaryan said, "You are going to post that hand? Well hopefully I make it to the final table."

The very next hand Mkhitaryan was on the button when the player in the hijack raised to 4,000. Mkhitaryan three-bet to 12,000 and the hijack four-bet to effective 72,000 all in. Mkhitaryan made the call and this time he was at risk.

Aram Mkhitaryan: JJ
Player in hijack: K10

The board came with 28223 and Mhitaryan had a full house and the hijack had a very low stack.
