Sergio Giha raised UTG+1 to 250,000, Sean Astwood called from the cutoff, Alex Ivan called from the button, Tom Gottlieb called from the small blind, and Wayne Clarke called from the big blind.

Five players in the pot, and the flop came 10c7c6c. Action checked to Astwood, who bet 350,000. Ivan and Giha called, and the others folded.

The turn card paired the board with the 7h, and all three players checked.

The river card was the 3s, and Giha bet 1,800,000. Astwood folded, and Ivan called. Giha turned over 6s6h to win the pot with a full house, sixes full of sevens, and Ivan mucked.

Sergio Giha  –  9,000,000  (72 bb)
Alex Ivan  –  5,900,000  (47 bb)
