Liubomyr Melnyk opened to 600,000 from under the gun and Shawn Daniels called in the next seat as Antonio Vargas defended his big blind.

Vargas and Melnyk both checked on the flop of 3♥K♥K♦ and Daniels bet 500,000. Only Melnyk called. Melnyk checked again on the 3♠ turn and Daniels sized up to 2,200,000. Melnyk again called.

Both players then checked on the 6♥ river and Melnyk showed Q♦Q♠ to win the pot with a pair of queens.
