Yuri Dzivielevski potted the button to 35,000 and Koji Fujimoto defended his big blind.

The Q♠Q♣9♠ flop checked through to the 10♣ turn. Fujimoto led for 55,000 and Dzivielevski took some time before he decided to stick in the call.

The A♥ peeled off on the river. Fujimoto did not take long before he announced all-in and Dzivielevski snapped it off.

Koji Fujimoto: K♥Q♦J♥6♦ All in
Yuri Dzivielevski: A♠A♣8♥3♦

Fujimoto flopped trips and turned a straight but it was no good against the rivered full house of Dzivielevski as Fujimoto hit the rail in 18th place and the remaining players enjoy a small pay ladder.
