Kravchenko Cracks Noja's Aces
Level 30
: Blinds 75,000/150,000, 150,000 ante
Dmitrii Kravchenko and Danielle Noja just played a pot worth more than three million chips, with Kravchenko the one at risk of heading to the rail.
Dmitrii Kravchenko: 10♥10♣
Danielle Noja: A♦A♥
Noja had picked up aces at the perfect time and simply had to avoid a ten to eliminate Kravchenko and move the tournament to the final-table bubble.
However, the 10♠6♦Q♥ flop was a disaster for Noja as it gave Kravchenko a set.
The K♦ turn provided Noja with a straight draw, but the 5♥ river was no help.
Kravchenko stayed alive, while Noja was left with fewer than two big blinds.
