Damir Zhugralin opened to 160,000 from the button. Oliver Weis and Anton Wigg called from the blinds.

The A♦ came in on the turn, and Weis slowed down with a check. Zhugralin bet 550,000 and Weis called to swell the pot to 2,980,000.

The 7♣ put three clubs on the board, and Weis checked. Zhugralin, with 2,110,000 behind, used a time bank before moving all in, and Weis quickly called as the bigger stack.

Zhugralin tabled 10♠10♦ but was eliminated on the final table bubble as Weis had 6♣4♣ for the flush.
