Tyler Foran

Level 25 : Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante

Dmitrii Levin opened 1,00,000 in the cutoff, and Andrei Gladyshev called on the button before Sergei Galaktionov jammed for 5,200,000 in the big. Levin announced all-in as well, forcing Gladyshev to get out of the way, and both hands were tabled.

Sergei Galaktionov: K♠Q♣ All in
Dmitrii Levin: 9♣9♠

The king came in K♣9♥4♥ window as the flop hit the felt, but it was followed by the nine, giving Levin a set. The 10♠ turn gave Galaktionov a little hope as he picked up a gutshot straight draw, but the 5♣ river was no help.
