Level 13 : 400,000/800,000, 800,000 ante

Morten Norland opened to 1,600,000 in early position and Clemen Deng defended out of the big blind.

Deng checked on the flop of 6♥5♦9♣ and Norland continued for 1,200,000. Deng called. Deng checked again on the K♥ turn and Norland sized up to 2,600,000. Deng called again.

Deng checked once more on the 10♦ river and Norland bet 7,500,000. Deng raised all in and Norland quickly called for a total of 8,600,000.

Deng showed K♠5♣ for two pair, but it was no good against the top set of his opponent with K♣K♦ as the Norwegian earned a double.
