Dubanov Avoids the Chop, Savenkov Left Short
Level 22
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Vladislav Dubanov, opened the cutoff to 40,000 and Aleksei Savenkov shoved from the big blind. Dubanov had 435,000 total to start the hand, and eventually made the call.
Vladislav Dubanov: A?J? 
Aleksei Savenkov: A?2?
Dubanov just needed to hold to secure his double-up, and did maintain his lead on the 7?5?5? flop. However, hopes of a double-up evaporated somewhat on the 7? turn as both players made two pair with an ace kicker. However, the J? on the river gave Dubanov a bigger two pair, and he boosted his stack to around 900,000.
