Alen Fillipi limped in from the small blind before Diones Lopes raised to 750,000 in the big blind. Fillipi called, and they saw a flop of 9♣7♥3♥.
Both players checked to the 6♠ turn, where Fillipi led out for 1,500,000. Lopes called, and the 5♣ fell on the river.
Fillipi then bet 1,700,000 and Lopes again called. Fillipo showed J♥4♥ for a rivered straight, and Lopes mucked K♥9♦ as he gave up the chip lead.
