Serhii Popovych limped under the gun, Mike Dentale limped in the hijack, and Anthony Mullen limped in the cutoff before Rami Ilyasov bumped it up to 1,600 from the button. When it got back to Popovych, he limp-raised to 6,600, and only Ilyasov called.
On the 10♣3♣2♠ flop, Popovych continued his aggression with a bet of 8,800, and Ilyasov called again.
Popovych then slowed down with a check on the 6♦ turn, and Ilyasov was content to do the same.
The river brought the 9♠ as Popovych announced a bet of 18,000, and Ilyasov instantly flicked in a chip to call. Popovych tabled J♥9♣ for the rivered second pair, but it was second-best to the Q♦10♦ of Ilyasov, who flopped top pair and won a massive pot as the other members of the table traded confused looks at one another.
