In a battle of the blinds, Sergey Lebedev raised to 1.1 million and Honglin Jiang three-bet to 3 million in the big blind, which Lebedev called. On the 
flop both players checked and Lebedev bet the 
turn for 3.5 million, Jiang called.
On the 
river, Lebedev shoved for 8.5 million effective and Jiang called with the
