Bukharkov Flops the Nuts
Nivel 7
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
With around 7,000 chips already in the pot on a flop of Q♣8♠10♥, there were 7,500 chips in front of Yannis Berrandou, which Thome had called. Bukharkov then moved all in for 15,400, and Berrandou called. Thome then shoved for around 70,000 and after some thought, Berrandou chose to fold with 50,000 behind.
Evgenii Bukharkov: J♠9♦ 
Julien Thome: 8♥8♦
A great situation for Bukharkov who was on the brink of tripling up, and would so do if the board didn't pair. Thome needed to improve in order to eliminate his opponent but no help arrived on neither the 4♦ turn nor 5♣ river.
