Mikhail Zavoloka opened the button to 25,000 and Vladimir Lappo defended his big blind.

The Q♣ on the turn caused Lappo to check. Zavoloka took back the betting lead by firing out for 50,000. Lappo continued in the form of a call.
A J♠ completed the board, and Lappo checked once more. Zavoloka carved together a bet of 200,000, and after a few moments, Lappo called.
Zavoloka showed a total airball with 10♠9♣, and lost the pot to Lappo's trips with K♠2♣.
