A full board of 10♣4♦K♦2♥3♣ was showing when Azizjon Rakhimov fired 800 on the river. In the next seat was Christopher Rossos who made a raise to 2,500, which got a quick fold from Mustafa Simsek, then Rakhimov thought for a few seconds before he called.

Rossos turned over a pair of sixes with 6♥6♣, but Rakhimov had the winner holding K♠5♥ for a pair of kings.
