One for the Russian

Matt Giannetti made it 45,000 to go under the gun and found one caller, Konstantin Puchkov in the cutoff. The latter proceeded to check-call a bet of 52,000 on the {K-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} flop, prompting Giannetti to check the {7-Spades} turn.

The Russian took the opportunity to bet 225,000, which proved enough to take down the pot as Giannetti folded.
