Damir Zhugralin got he is stack of 33,000 into the middle from the big blind with Alessio Isaia making the call from the cutoff.
Damir Zhugralin: A♠2♦ 
Alessio Isaia: A♦8♠
Isaia dominated Zhugralin, but the K♦3♦Q♣ flop meant a chopped pot was likely. However, the 2♥ turn catapulted Zhugralin into the lead with a pair. He improved to trips on the 2♣ river, and earned the much-needed double-up.
