Vyborov Smacks the River to Leave Trojand on Dust
Artur Vyborov raised from the small blind to 420,000 and Jeremy Trojand defended out of the big blind.
Vyborov decided to start with a check on the 5♥3♥6♣ flop, and Trojand bet 350,000. Vyborov went for the most aggressive option and check-raised the pot to 1,650,000. Trojand continued in the form of a call.
Vyborov jammed for his last 1,840,000 on the A♠ turn, and Trojand called with a few more chips than Vyborov.
Artur Vyborov: J♠7♦6♥3♠ 
Jeremy Trojand: 10♣6♠5♣4♠
Both players had two pair, but it was Trojand that held a stranglehold on the hand with the superior two pair. However, Vyborov found some help on the J♣ river by improving to a higher two pair and doubling through Trojand.
Afte the chips were counted, Vyborov was up to over eight million, and Trojand was left with just a couple of big blinds.
