Action came in on the turn as the board showed {5-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{9-Spades}{2-Clubs}. From the big blind, Kubanychbek Abakirov bet 18,000 and his opponent, who entered the day as one of the lrgest stacks but wished to remain anonymous, called from the small blind.

The river came the {k-Clubs}. The small blind checked. Bakirov thought for a while before betting 80,500. Hid opponent quickly raised all in and Abakirov snap-called.

The small blind tabled the {9-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} for a flopped set but it was beaten by the {a-Spades}{4-Hearts} wheel of Abakirov to knock the anon player down to about 300,000 from his early high perch and send the huge pot to the Kyrgyz player.
