Level 16
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

The 6♦K♠6♥ flop was checked by both players.
McEwen checked again on the K♦ turn before Izadi fired 20,000. McEwen called.
Both players knuckled the 2♦ river to go to a showdown.
McEwen showed he had a huge hand as he tabled K♥J♠ for a full house. Izadi revealed 9♣9♠ as the chips went to McEwen.
