Chernikov Busts Karmanukyan and Hewitt; Gets One Round Penalty
Aleksandr Chernikov raised from under the gun and was called by Arsen Karmanukyan on the button and Sylvia Hewitt in the big blind. On the flop of 
, things heated up as Hewitt check-raised all in after a continuation bet by Charnikov and a raise by Karmanukyan. Both remaining stacks went into the middle as well and the cards were turned over.
Hewitt: 
Karmanukyan: 
Chernikov: 
Hewitt needed running outs while Karmanukyan was freerolling with the straight and flopped flush draw. However, the 
turn made the three-way all in even more spicy and Chernikov pointed to the diamond.
Sure enough, the 
river gave Chernikov the back door flush and he let out a scream that the entire upper floor of the casino could hear. With both opponents eliminated, Chernikov raked in the massive pot and was subsequently given a one-round penalty for excessive celebration.
