Level 27
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Govert Metaal opened to 125,000 from early position with K♥Q♠, and Grigorii Rodin defended his big blind with A♦9♦.
Both players paired up on the A♣K♠7♦ flop, with Rodin having the best of it. He check-called for 100,000.
The 8♦ turn checked through to the 7♣ river for Rodin to seal the checkmark. The Russian player led out for 400,000, and Metaal started to tank. He tossed a time bank card to the dealer before calling.
Rodin tabled the winner and chipped up.
