Wataru Miyashita raised to 5,100,000 from the button and Georgios Sotiropoulos defended his big blind. Both players checked the flop.

Sotiropoulos checked again on the turn and Miyashita bet 5,500,000. Sotiropoulos called and the river was checked down.

Sotiropoulos turned over for a missed straight draw, while Miyashita had for a pair of fives to win the first significant pot of heads-up play.
