Juha Helppi limped in on the button, Anatoly Zlotnikov did the same in the small blind, and Alex Foxen checked in the big blind.

The action checked to Helppi on the 9♦8♥5♥ flop, who bet 10,000. Zlotnikov called, but Foxen folded.

Zlotnikov check-called another bet on the 7♦ turn, this time for 35,000, before the 2♦ river checked through.

"I've got a set, flush and three pair", Zlotnikov announced as he flipped over 9♥8♦8♣5♦. That combination was enough to beat Helppi, as he tossed his cards towards the muck.
