Ilies Spikes River to Survive in Domination Rotation
Level 25
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Andreas Loesche opened to 70,000 from the cutoff, and received calls from Bogdan Ilies and Miroslav Matula in the blinds.
Action was checked to Loesche on the 9♥9♣6♣ flop, who fired out a bet of 100,000.
Ilies responded with a check-jam to 540,000, and after a bit of thought, Loesche made the call.
Bogdan Ilies: 10♠9♠ 
Andreas Loesche: A♣Q♣
Ilies had two pair, nines and sixes, versus Loesche's flush draw.
The 3♣ hit on the turn to put Loesche in front, but it was followed by the 10♦ river to improve Ilies to a full house, much to his delight, who gave the table a whack in celebration and pumped his fist as he was shipped the double-up.
