Kubanychbek Abakirov and Salih Atac clashed once again. On a flop of 6♦4♠5♦, Abakirov continued for 15,000 from the hijack, and Atac called from the button.

However, on the turn 10♠, Abakirov checked. Atac didn't hesitate to bet 20,000, and Abakirov called.

On the river A♣, Abakirov checked again and Atac fired 80,000. This time, Abakirov decided to check-fold.

He asked Atac if he could show one of his cards, but after a short negotiation, the cards went into the muck.
