Oleksii Kovalchuk raised it up to 150,000 on the button preflop, Ionel Anton then re-raised it to 400,000 and Kovalchuk called.

The flop came down {10-Hearts}{3-Spades}{3-Clubs} and both players checked.

The turn was the {4-Diamonds} and Anton bet out 250,000. Kovalchuk just called.

The river was the {10-Spades}, Anton checked, and Kovalchuk bet 775,000. Anton took some time then called and Kovalchuk showed {10-}{q-} for a full house. Kovalchuk took back a two to one chip lead after the hand.
