The 7♠ on the river checked through and Jaka won the pot with J♠10♥ for a pair of tens. Madanzhiev mucked 8♠8♦.
The action was joined as Phil Ivey moved all in preflop for 206,000, and Shota Nakanishi snap-called to put him at risk.
Phil Ivey: 7♠7♥
Shota Nakanishi: Q♥Q♦

Ivey improved to quads on the 7♣ turn, taking an insurmountable lead.
To add salt to the wound, Nakanishi improved to a full house on the Q♣ river, but it was too little, too late.
