: Blinds 500,000/1,000,000, 1,000,000 ante
Sebastian Ionita raised to 2,000,000 under the gun with 9♥9♦. Vlado Banicevic called in middle position with 6♠6♣ before Ivan Bryksin piled in 7,200,000 chips on the button with 7♥7♦.
Ionita quickly released the highest pair, but Banicevic stuck around for a flop, which was dealt 2♣Q♦7♣. Banicevic checked to Bryksin, who bet 5,300,000 with his set.
Banicevic quickly let go of his sixes as the first pot of the final table was shipped to Bryksin.
