Level 34
: Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante
Before the flop Niko Mykkanen raised to 600,000 and WSOP gold bracelet winner Martin Nielsen called from the big blind.
A board of 2♠K♠6♣ had both players checking their option.
The 5♣ peeled off on the turn and Nielsen bet 1,000,000 which Mykkanen took a moment to make the call.
A river card of the J♣ had Nielsen check. Shortly after Mykkanen moved his chips into the pot for 3,800,000. Nielsen took a moment and said "I have to call" and threw his big chips in front of him.
Niko Mykkanen: A♣10♠8♦7♠
Martin Nielsen: K♣Q♣8♥8♠
Nielsen rivered a flush and picked off Mykkanen's river bluff. Mykkanen's deep run came to an end as he made his way to the payout cage to collect $10,815.
