Level 43 : Blinds 3,000,000/5,000,000, 5,000,000 ante

Prashanth Nataraj raised to 10,000,000 on the button, and Laurance Essak called in the big blind.

The Q♣9♦4♣ flop saw Essak check-call a bet of 6,000,000, before the J♣ turn checked through.

When Essak checked for a third time on the 3♣ river, Nataraj bet 6,000,000. Essak opted to call, but wasn't able to beat the J♥3♥ of Nataraj.
