Gjergj Sinishtaj opened to 52,000 from under the gun, and the action folded all the way to Oleksii Kovalchuk, who called in the big blind. The dealer fanned {7-Spades}{7-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}, Kovalchuk check-called a bet of 55,000, and the turn brought the {6-Clubs}. Kovalchuk checked again, Sinishtaj tossed out 127,000, and Kovalchuk raised the pot (480,000). Sinishtaj moved all in for 536,000, and Kovalchuk called.

Sinishtaj: {9-Hearts}{8-Spades}{7-Hearts}{6-Spades}
Kovalchuk: {a-Spades}{a-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}

Both players had full houses, but Sinishtaj's was higher, and a meaningless {j-} bricked off on the river. Sinishtaj doubled to nearly 1.3 million, while Kovalchuk slipped to 360,000.
