Aleksandr Gorichev pushed all-in for his last 91,000 and Manoj Pentakota called from the big blind, after which Gorichev sighed as it had been his previous nemesis.

Aleksandr Gorichev: A ♥️ 6 ♣️

Manoj Pentakota: A ♠️ Q ♦️

Gorichev had heaps of outs until the 8 ♥️ 5 ♥️ 3 ♥️ 4 ♦️ turn but the Q ♠️ river sealed his fate.

An excited Viet An Nguyen was watching from the other table and has the current chip lead.
