Niklas Astedt opened to 100,000 from the hijack, and Adrian Cazacu defended in the big blind.
On the 10♠9♥6♠ flop, Cazacu check-raised to 400,000 versus a bet of 150,000 from Astedt, who called.
The 4♣ turn was checked through. On the 3♥ river, Cazacu jammed for 2,030,000, and Astedt went deep into the tank, clearly pained by the decision.
He burned through five time-banks before folding. Cazacu showed 10♦9♠ for two pair, and Astedt claimed he folded queens.

PokerStars listened to feedback from female poker players on how to draw women to the game, and now the poker site is responding.
The upcoming PokerStars North American Poker Tour (NAPT) Las Vegas festival will feature a $330 buy-in Women's Event on Nov. 5. Notably, the event has a $30,000 guaranteed prize pool attached.
Last year's NAPT Women's Event had a $360 price tag and drew 94 entrants for a prize pool of $28,200. That means PokerStars is expecting this year's event to be an even greater success.
The Women's Event will get underway at 12:30 p.m. local time on Nov. 5 and allows for unlimited reentry. The event will feature 30-minute levels and will see players starting with stacks of 30,000.
Niklas Astedt raised to 100,000 from early position with Ryan Mandara calling from the cutoff and Daniel Myers defending out of the big blind.
The action checked to Mandara on the A♥9♣7♠ flop and he bet 90,000. Myers and Astedt called.
All three players checked the 3♣ turn for the 2♠ to come on the river. After Myers checked, Astedt bet roughly 450,000, which forced a quick fold from Mandara, but a call from Myers.
Astedt took down the pot with A♦A♠ for a flopped set of aces. Myers flipped over 7♦7♥ for a lower set on the flop.

Sebastian Malec opened from middle position to 120,000 and Stoyan Madanzhiev shoved the cutoff for 1,340,000. Once the action got back to Malec, he called.
Stoyan Madanzhiev: 8♦8♣
Sebastian Malec: A♥Q♥
It was a classic flip for a pot worth around 45 big blinds, and it was Madanzhiev who kept his advantage on the 5♠4♥7♦ flop. The K♥ turn gave Malec a flush draw, but the 8♠ river was safe for Madanzhiev as he improved to a set to double up.
