Konstantin Held raised to 200,000 from the hijack, Anatoly Nikitin three-bet to 1,950,000  (leaving 325,000) behind, and Held called.

However, Held mistakenly thought Nikitin was all in, and therefore showed AhJc.

The flop came As5d3s, Nikitin checked, Held bet effectively 325,000, and Nikitin thought for a bit before he open-folded 9s9d.

Konstantin Held  –  5,200,000  (52 bb)
Anatoly Nikitin  –  325,000  (3 bb)
