Big Pairs Do Their Thing for the Eastern Bloc

On one table, it was Alexander Kravchenko turning over pocket kings after just calling the turn and river of a jack-high board against his lone opponent, who turned over {Q-?} {J-?} for a pair of jacks. Having his kings hold up gave Kravchenko enough chips to climb to 105,000.

A few tables over, Liya Gerasimova was all in with {Q-Diamonds} {Q-Hearts} against an opponent's {A-Spades} {K-Hearts}. She shook her head bitterly when the flop came {4-Clubs} {K-Diamonds} {2-Diamonds}; the turn {Q-Spades} got a bit of a murmur out of the assembled on-lookers. The river blanked out to give Gerasimova a double-up to about 85,000.
