After a flop of 9s7h5h, action checked to Andrew Ostapchenko in the hijack, and he bet 200,000. David Mzareulov check-raised all in from the small blind to 2,550,000, and Isaac Kempton quickly folded the big blind.

Ostapchenko called all in for 2,450,000 with 5s5d for a set of fives, and Mzareulov turned over Qh9h for a pair of nines with a heart flush draw. Ostapchenko needed his set to hold to stay alive.

The turn card was the 3d, the river card was the 6h, and Mzareulov completed his heart flush on the river to win the pot and eliminate Ostapchenko in 13th place.
