: Blinds 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante
Ashish Gupta opened from the hijack and Zhen Chen called from the big blind.
On the 9♦7♣Q♦ flop, Chen check-called a bet of 1,100,000 from Gupta to the 5♠ turn, where both checked.
A 2♥ hit the river and Chen led with a bet of around 2,000,000, which Gupta snap-called.
Chen flipped K♥Q♠ for top pair, but he had kicker problems as Gupta showed A♥Q♣ to take the pot.
