There was about 6,000 on the turn with the board reading KcJd6h8c and Aleksandr Shevelev checked from the big blind. His opponent is in middle position and he checked behind.

The river was the 3s and Shevelev tanks for a minute before betting 550. His opponent quickly calls and Shevelev showed Jh9h, good for a pair of jacks and his opponent mucked his hand.

Shevelev won the $250 No Limit Hold’em Turbo trophy earlier this series and has more than tripled his starting stack in this event.

Aleksandr Shevelev – 63,000
