Level 19 : Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante

When the action folded to Pieter Aerts in the small blind, he raised to 450,000, which Anatoly Zlotnikov called in the big blind.

The dealer spread a 10♠A♠2♦ flop, and Aerts continued for 250,000, which Zlotnikov called.

Aerts barrelled for a more substantial 800,000 on the 8♣ turn, undeterred, Zlotnikov called once again.

The Q♣ completed the board, and Aerts emptied the clip, moving all in with the larger of the two stacks. Zlotnikov snap-called, putting his 2,180,000 into the middle and tabling K♦J♥ for the nut straight as he did.

Aerts revealed he had A♣K♠ before sliding the majority of his stack one seat to his left.
