On the 7♣ turn Duta put out a bet of 1,025,000 and was faced with a three-bet jam by Mistri to 3,025,000. Duta reluctantly made the call to put Mistri at risk.
Sunil Mistri: 6♦6♥
Florian Duta: K♥Q♣
Mistri was in great shape with his set of sixes against Duta's pair of queens, with Duta drawing dead, and the 4♥ completed the runout.
