Steel Wheel Versus Full House; Another Dramatic River
Nicolas Milgrom limped the small blind and Igor Zektser raised to 650,000. Milgrom called.
Heads up they saw the A♥9♥4♥. Both players checked.
The turned peeled the 4♠ and Milgrom led for 1,700,000 with only a few chips left behind. Zektser raised to put Milgrom's remaining chips at risk. Milgrom called.
Nicolas Milgrom: 6♠5♣4♦3♦2♣ 
Igor Zektser: A♣K♣J♠5♥2♥
Both players had turned the wheel but Zektser had a flush for the high. Milgrom improved to a full house with the 4♥ but it was a needle, as Zektser made the five-high straight flush.
A Few Hands Later:
Shiva Dudani got the rest of his chips in the middle and at risk against Igor Zektser on a board reading 9♣7♥4♥5♣.
Shiva Dudani: A♥K♠Q♥8♣2♣
Igor Zektser: A♠K♥10♦4♣2♥
Zektser had the best high hand at the moment with a pair of fours, both players had a heart draw, and Dudani had a club draw.
The 8♦ kept their lows the same but Dudani improved to a pair of eights for the high, awarding him three quarters.
Zekster couldn't help but say, "What are these hands?".
