With a massive pile of close to 170,000 chips already in the middle and the board reading {Q-Spades}{J-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}, Ognjen Sekularac bet, Artem Babakhanyan moved all-in for 188,100, and Sekularac called to put Babakhanyan at risk.

Ognjen Sekularac: {J-Spades}{10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}
Artem Babakhanyan: {A-Clubs}{K-Clubs}{10-Spades}{6-Spades}

Babakhanyan had the lead with a king-high straight and Sekularac needed a diamond on the river in order to stack him. The last card was the {K-Hearts} which further improved Babakhanyan's hand by giving him Broadway, so he took the pot for a huge double-up.
