Moving from one table to the other as he is also playing in the $10,500 High Roller, Aleksandr Chernikov was at his seat to defend his big blind after Maksim Shornikau opened from the middle position.
On a 9♥J♦7♣ flop, both players checked. Then on the turn 6♥, Chernikov tried to take the pot by betting 200,000. On the other side of the table, Shornikau raised it to 575,000; an amount that Chernikov check-called.
