Amin Akhlaghi raised from the button to 1,100,000, and Steve Karp called from the big blind. The flop came Jc10c7h, Karp checked, Akhlaghi bet 1,100,000, and Karp called.

The turn card paired the board with the 10h, and both players check.

The river card was the 8h, Karp bet 2,400,000, and Akhlaghi called with QdJd for two pair, jacks and tens. But Karp turned over 10s4c to win the pot with trip tens.
