Minko Doubles Up in Massive Pot
Level 21
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Action picked up on the turn with a large pot brewing in a hand between Vladimir Minko in the big blind and Zhiyuan Xu in the cutoff.
With about 800,000 in the pot and the board reading 10?K?9?A?, Minko moved all in for roughly 600,000, putting himself at risk. Xu thought for a moment before eventually putting in the call.
Vladimir Minko: A?K? 
Zhiyuan Xu: A?Q?
Minko needed to dodge a jack or a diamond on the river to stay alive and double up. He did just that when the dealer put out the Q?, completing the board.
