Tomasz Brzezinski limped in on the button with 9♠4♦. Mykhailo Ostash checked his option in the big blind with 10♥8♣, after which the pair checked through the 10♠7♣A♥ flop and 5♦ turn.

Ostash fired 275,000 on the J♣ river, which received a quick fold from Brzezinski's nine-high.

On the next deal, Ostash raised his button to 250,000. Brzezinski called his in the big blind and check-called when Ostash continued for 175,000 on the 5♦4♥2♣ flop.

The Q♦ fell on the turn, causing both players to check. After the 7♠ had been placed on the river, Brzezinski fired a bet of 525,000.

Ostash quickly called, but his A♣10♦ could not beat the A♥7♦ of Brzezinski, who had rivered a pair to secure the pot.

The next hand was limped by Brzezinski with 7♣5♣, and Ostash checked A♥3♥ in the big blind. Brzezinski bet 225,000 on the 10♠2♦Q♦ flop, quickly taking down another pot as Ostash mucked his ace-high.
