Level 39 : 1,000,000/1,500,000, 1,500,000 ante

Mateusz Moolhuizen opened to 3,000,000 from the button with {j-Spades}{9-Hearts} and Mike Jukich flatted from the big blind with {6-Spades}{2-Spades}.

The flop came {10-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} and both players checked, despite Moolhuizen flopping an open-ended straight draw.

The {4-Diamonds} gave Jukich a straight draw as well and he bet 2,500,000 with it. Moolhuizen called.

The {a-Diamonds} on the river put backdoor diamonds on the board and Jukich opted to give up and tap the table. Moolhuizen fired for 6,500,000 and Jukich threw his cards into the muck.

Jukich Table Talks His Way to the Pot

Level 39 : 1,000,000/1,500,000, 1,500,000 ante

Mike Jukich, by far the most active at this point in the final table, opened to 3,000,000 with {j-Hearts}{10-Hearts}. Joao Simao called with {j-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} from the big blind.

The flop came {a-Spades}{2-Clubs}{q-Diamonds} and Jukich continued for just 1,500,000 into a 8,500,000 pot. Simao called.

The turn brought the {q-Hearts} and both players tapped the table.

The river was the {5-Clubs} and after Simao checked, Jukich bet 3,000,000 after admitting he had a bad hand.

However, the table talk was enough to see Simao fold the winning hand and Jukich proudly turned his hand face up.
