Priit Parmasto opened the action from under the gun to 250,000 with A10, and Eldars Sadih-Zade 87 and Mounir Tajiou 97 came along from the cutoff and big blind, respectively.

The J57 flop connected with both Sadih-Zade and Tajiou, prompting Sadih-Zade to fire 450,000 and Tajiou, with a stronger kicker, called.

The turn 10 looked like a likely chop if the hand went to showdown and both players checked.

But then came the 8 river, giving Tajiou a straight and Sadih-Zade an inferior two pair. Tajiou bet 800,000 into a 1.8 million pot, and Sadih-Zade, unable to get away, made the call and learned the bad news.

Mounir Tajiou – 4,600,000
Eldars Sadih-Zade – 1,800,000
