Mezhenkov Cracks Aces to Stay Alive
Level 26
: 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Weiran Pu raised under the gun, Oleksii Mezhenkov jammed for 1,000,000 from middle position. Joao Barroso Valli re-jammed from the small blind which cleared everyone else out including Pu.
Oleksii Mezhenkov: J♦J♥ 
Joao Barroso Valli: A♦A♠
The flop came J♠6♠2♠ to hit the jack but also give Barroso Valli a flush draw. The turn was the 8♦ and the river the 5♣ to miss the flush and leave Valli short while Mezhenkov gathered a big double.
