Larsen Saved by the River as he Doubles Again

Level 32
: Blinds 1,000,000/2,000,000, 2,000,000 ante

Kirill Shcherbakov rasied 8,200,000 from the small blind, and Birger Larsen called his stack of 6,200,000 in the big blind.
Birger Larsen: A?Q?
Kirill Shcherbakov: K?10?
The 10?9?4? flop paired ten for Shcherbakov as he took the lead. The 5? turn wasn't looking good for Larsen, although he had confidence as he sat back down before the A? peeled off on the river.
