Mikita Badziakouski raised to 40,000 under the gun and Alex Lynskey called in the cutoff, as did big blind Philip Sternheimer.

Action checked to Lynskey on the Q♦9♦7♣ flop and he bet 50,000. Only Badziakouski called.

Lynskey bet another 250,000 on the 10♣ turn, but this time Badziakouski moved all in for 825,000. Lynskey called with 9♠9♥ for a set, while Badziakouski showed Q♣J♣ for top pair to go with flush and straight draws.

The K♠ fell on the river to give Badziakouski a straight as he took down the pot worth nearly 2,000,000 to move into contention for the tournament chip lead.
