Khvan Claims a Double Up
Level 15
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Alexandr Khvan raised to 6,000 from middle position, Uladzimir Zhyharau three-bet to 20,000 from the cutoff and Alisa Sibgatova cold-called, from the button. Khvan thought for some time before putting in a raise to 73,000, a virtual all-in with 5,000 behind the line. Zhyharau folded and Sibgatova called.
The 6?10?3? flop saw Khvan check-call a bet for his last 5,000.
Alexandr Khvan: A?K? 
Alisa Sibgatova: A?J?
The 5? turn and A? river gave both players top pair; Khvan's kicker played and he doubled up.
