Dario Sammartino raised to 60,000 from the hijack before Ilia Pavlov made it 165,000 to go from the cutoff. The action folded back to Sammartino, who made the call.
The 4♠3♣10♠ flop saw Sammartino check-raise Pavlov's 105,000 bet to 350,000, and Pavlov call. Sammartino then downsized to 300,000 on the 9♠ turn before the 8♠ river brought the fourth spade on the board.
Sammartino then checked and Pavlov spent one time bank extension before moving all in for 505,000. Sammartino asked for a count before slamming in some calling chips.
Pavlov had rivered the ace-high flush with A♠10♦ and Sammartino frustratedly showed 6♠5♠ for a turned flush that was no longer good by the river.
Pavlov doubled up to the chip lead, while Sammartino still played more than an average stack.
