In some blind on blind action, it was folded to Jimmy Kebe in the small blind, who made up, and Rob Wazwaz checked his option from the big blind.
The flop came 9♠K♣8♦ and Kebe bet out for 200,000, Wazwaz called, and the players saw the 6♣ come on the turn. Kebe checked and Wazwaz bet 600,000, which Kebe called.
The river saw the 4♠ peel off, and again Kebe checked to Wazwaz, who bet out big for 1,200,000. Kebe went deep into the tank before he made the call and instantly mucked his cards when Wazwaz tabled 9♥8♠ for a flopped two pair, and Wazwaz was pushed the healthy pot.
