The flop came 5♠3♦6♠ and the small blind led for 20,000, which Shafigullin called. Both players then checked on the K♣ turn.
On the 4♣ river, the small blind led for 30,000 and then Shafigullin raised it to 65,000. The small blind called and Shafigullin revealed 7♦7♥ for a rivered straight. His opponent looked on in disbelief before showing K♥K♦ for a busted set of kings.
