Level 1
: Blinds 200/500, 500 ante
Parahat Nurmuhammedov raised to 1,000 from the button, with Ilia Arkhipov calling from the small blind and Yuxi Huang defending from the big blind.
All three players checked the 9♥4♥Q♠ flop before the 9♦ appeared on the turn. Arkhipov checked again, and Huang bet 3,000. Nurmuhammedov and Arkhipov both called.
The 7♥ completed the board, and the action checked through. Arkhipov then tabled K♣K♥ for an overpair, much to the surprise and amusement of his tablemates.
The cowboys were good enough to earn Arkhipov the pot, while Huang flashed the Q♦ as she mucked top pair.
