Level 31 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Aleksandr Chernikov raised to 325,000 from under the gun and Edgard Raffoul defended his big blind.

Both players checked the {2-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{7-Hearts} flop before Raffoul led out for 275,000 on the {9-Hearts} turn.

Chernikov called to the {6-Clubs} river as Raffoul slowed down and checked. Chernikov fired out 450,000 and Raffoul raised to 1,050,000.

Chernikov then moved all in and Raffoul, with 1,700,000 remaining, tanked for around two minutes before he called with {10-Spades}{9-Clubs} for trips.

Chernikov, though, turned over {7-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} for a full house as he raised his arms in the air. Raffoul went around the table to shake the hand of all his former opponents before heading to the payout desk.
