The flop came 2♦6♦Q♠, which resulted in a check from Kelley. Tatrintsev bet 95,000. Kelley check-raised to 300,000, and Tatarintsev called.
The 4♠ turn led to a bet of 300,000 from Kelley, and Tatrintsev once again called.
Kelley checked the 3♦ river, and Tatarintsev bet 450,00.0 Kelley made the call and received the bad news when Tatarintsev showed 5♠2♠ for a straight.
This left Kelley on fumes and he lost the match shortly after when Tatarintsev pushed all-in and was called.

Kelley was dominated but flopped huge as it came 5♦10♦K♥.
