Minko Doubles Up in Massive Pot
Level 21
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Action picked up on the turn with a large pot brewing in a hand between Vladimir Minko in the big blind and Zhiyuan Xu in the cutoff.
With about 800,000 in the pot and the board reading 10♦K♦9♣A♣, Minko moved all in for roughly 600,000, putting himself at risk. Xu thought for a moment before eventually putting in the call.
Vladimir Minko: A♥K♠ 
Zhiyuan Xu: A♦Q♦
Minko needed to dodge a jack or a diamond on the river to stay alive and double up. He did just that when the dealer put out the Q♥, completing the board.
