Tsoukernik Doubles Up with Rags
Eduards Kudrjavcevs opened to 20,000 in middle position and was called by Leon Tsoukernik on the button and the small blind. Michael Sklenicka three-bet to 125,000 from the big blind and all three players called.
"If I hit something, I'm going all in," Tsoukernik exclaimed with only 227,000 behind. The flop fell 
and the action checked to Tsoukernik who kept his word and moved all in. The small blind folded and Sklenick also quickly shoved all in for 919,000. Kudrjavcevs asked for a count and then called after a minute.
Leon Tsoukernik: 
Eduards Kudrjavcevs: 
Michael Sklenicka: 
"I've already won! Ship it here!" Tsoukernik shouted, still needing to complete his straight to have a hope. The dealer burned and turned the 
and Tsoukernik did indeed make a straight. The 
on the river changed nothing and Tsoukernik scored himself a full triple up.
Kudrjavcevs, meanwhile, took down the larger side pot and Sklenicka was eliminated.
