Dimitar Danchev opened to 70,000 from the button and called when Biao Ding three-bet to 300,000.
The dealer spread a 3♥10♣6♥ flop, and Ding started with a check. Danchev took over the betting lead with a sizing of 200,000, which Ding called before both players checked on the 2♠ turn.
The flush-completing J♥ finished the board, and Ding led out for 600,000. Danchev responded by moving all in, which Ding snap-called.
It was cooler city, with Ding the one wishing he wasn't a resident. Danchev tabled K♥8♥ for a rivered flush, which had found a way to beat the flopped top set of Ding, who tabled 10♠10♥.
After the collision, Ding was left with just two big blinds.
