The pot had grown to 48,000 with two players heading to a flop of K♠2♥J♣.

Level 6 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Vladimir Korzinin and Morten Klein went to the river with the board showing A♣3♣A♥5♣7♣. Korzinin then bet 75,000 from the big blind.

Klein moved all in for 225,000 under the gun and Korzinin quickly called, showing 5♥5♦ for a full house. Klein, though, had 6♣4♣ for a rivered straight flush as he stopped to snap a photo of the board.

Korzinin laughed off the bad beat and shook Klein's hand as Klein raked in the pot to double up.
