Yuri Dzivielevski raised to 4,000 under the gun and Mehdi Chaoui three-bet to 15,000 in early position. Ruben Lopes then four-bet to 32,000 on the button and Dzivielevski folded, but Chaoui came back with a five-bet to 62,000. Lopes called.
The flop came A♣2♦3♥ and Chaoui continued for 13,000. Lopes called and the J♦ fell on the turn.
Chaoui slowed down and checked to Lopes, who bet 28,000. Chaoui called, and they both checked the Q♠ river.
Chaoui showed A♦5♦, but Lopes had A♠K♣ for top pair, king-kicker to win the big pot.
