Tang's Cowboys End Chernikov's Tournament
Nivel 14
: Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Aleksandr Chernikov raised to 10,000 from middle position before Xin Tang three-bet to 32,000 from the but hijack. Chernikov four-bet to 85,000 and Tang made the call.
AS soon as the J♣5♠8♥ flop came down Chernikov shoved for 254,000, which Tang snap-called.
Aleksandr Chernikov: Q♦10♦ 
Xin Tang: K♠K♣
Tang's slowplay of pocket kings had worked out perfectly for him as Chernikov had just a few outs he could hit to stay in the tournament. There was no help for Chernikov as the rest of the board ran out 3♦A♥, meaning he was out of the tournament, and Tang became one of the biggest stacks in the room.
