Ivan Govorov

Tomoya Tsubouchi opened under the gun for 160,000 and Koji Komatsu called from the button. It got to Ivan Govorov in the big blind, who after using a time bank shoved all-in for 955,000. Tsubouchi quickly folded and after some deliberation, Komatsu called.

Ivan Gorovov: 7 7

Koji Komatsu: Q J

Govorov was in a flip but needed to pull a rabbit out of the hat if he were to survive after Komatsu flopped a flush on 8 K 3 .

It was all over by the time the 4 turn hit the felt, but the deck wanted to give Govorov a going-away present and improved him to a set with the inconsequential 7 river.
