On the turn, the board read {9-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}. Both players committed 26,500 to the pot after a bet and raise.

The river came the {q-Hearts}. Aleksei Istomin checked in early position. Alexander Lakhov was in the big blind and thought for a while before he announced a bet of 49,900. Istomin quickly folded before Lakhov could put the bet together as he gathered the pot and continued his early-day momentum.
