Karmatckii Good at Showdown

Level 18
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Arsenii Karmatckii opened to 18,000 in middle position and Leon Sturm defended his big blind.
On the 9?10?6? flop, Sturm check-called versus a bet of 24,000 from Karmatckii.
The 9? rolled off on the turn to pair the board, and Sturm led out with a bet of 20,000. Karmatckii called.
The 4? river was checked by both players.
Sturm showed A?Q? and Karmatckii showed A?K?, Karmatckii's ace-king high being good enough for the pot.
