Level 32 : Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante

Antonio Vargas raised to 800,000 from cutoff and got one caller in Liubomyr Melnyk in the small blind.

The dealer fanned out J♥10♣4♥ and both players checked. Action resumed on the 8♣ turn, when Melnyk fired 650,000.

Vargas called leading them to the 4♠ river which they both checked again.

Melnyk showed 6♦6♣ while Vargas tabled Q♠10♠ to win the pot.
