Benyamin Canatan opened the action to 200,000 from the button with A♠5♦, and start-of-the-day chip leader Kaspars Butans defended his big blind with 9♠9♦.
The 10♠Q♠Q♦ flop looked dangerous for Butans, who decided to check-call a 150,000 bet from Canatan.
The turn 8♦ saw both players slow down and check, and river brought a 2♦. Butans correctly sensed that his pocket nines might still be good and placed a 235,000 value bet into an 850,000 pot. The bet was tempting enough for Canatan, who made the call with his inferior ace-high.
Kaspars Butans – 7,100,000
Benyamin Canatan – 3,800,000
