Arash Asadabadi raised to 240,000 in the small blind and Brian Mahler defended in the big blind.
The flop came 6♥J♥6♣ and Asadabadi check-called a bet of 225,000 from Mahler, bringing the 9♠ turn, where both players checked.
The river landed the 4♥, completing any flush draws, and Asadabadi fried out a bet of 1,200,000.
Mahler counted out his chips and thought for a moment before making the call with Q♦J♦, besting the A♥5♠ of Asadabadi.
