Level 2 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Action was heads up to river of a completed board showing A♦9♦9♣2♥7♥ and all of Zvezdan Tadic's chips in the middle.

Konstantin Voronin took a few minutes before tossing in the call.

Tadic turned over A♠A♣ for a flopped full house, taking down a massive pot early on. Voronin showed Q♥9♥ for trip nines, which were no good leaving him with a short stack.
