: Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante
Thomas Boivin raised to 300,000 on the button with K♠Q♣ and Gal Yifrach defended from the big blind with 7♦6♦. The flop fell K♣J♦10♦ and Yifrach check-called a bet of 300,000 from Boivin.
The turn brought the 9♣ and Yifrach checked again. Boivin threw in another bet of 350,000 after making his straight and Yifrach still called. The river was the 8♣ and Yifrach checked for the third time. Boivin announced a bet of 1,200,000 and Yifrach eventually dumped his smaller straight into the muck.
