Minko Knows It's Coming
Level 22
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Zhiyuan Xu shoved all in for 150,000 from early position and Vladimir Minko shoved for over 2,000,000 from the cutoff.
Zhiyuan Xu: A♣6♥ 
Vladimir Minko: Q♥8♣
The dealer put out a flop of 5♣6♠4♦ which gave Xu a pair, and improved Minko to a straight draw.
"It always comes," said Minko to Xu.
It didn't come on the K♥ turn but the 8♥ river gave Minko the best hand, which eliminated Xu.
