Mamikonyan Puts a Dent in Turuskan's Mountain
Level 29
: Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Kerem Turuskan opened the button and Paruyr Mamikonyan shoved from the big blind for 1,880,000. Turuskan called.
Paruyr Mamikonyan: A?6? 
Kerem Turuskan: A?8?
Mamikonyan decided to take a stand against the chip leader but was the favorite to be the first player eliminated at the final table. However, the runout of 5?J?6?7?7? improved Mamikonyan to trips, which earned him a double-up.
Mamikonyan might say that's karma for Turuskan cracking his ace-king with ace-queen earlier.
