Aleksei Zhukov

Aleksei Zhukov raised to 24,000 with the K ♥️ K ♣️ and Sangjin An was among three players to come along with the 7 ♦️ 2 ♦️ in the small blind.

On the J ♦️ 10 ♣️ 10 ♦️ flop, An and Francisco Zufia with the Q ♠️ 9 ♠️ called Zhukov's bet of 35,000 and they headed to the 3 ♠️ turn. Zhukov now made it 65,000 to go and only An check-called to miss his flush on the 2 ♥️ river.

An checked and Zhukov bet 225,000 to pick up a very reluctant call and drag in the healthy poker.
