After a flop of 8c7c4s, Reinaldo Vicentini Aldrey bet 85,000 from under the gun, and Leon Zhivelev called from the hijack.

The turn card paired the board with the 7h, Aldrey moved all in for 270,000, and Zhivelev asked for an exact count and tanked for a while before he called with Kc4c for two pair, sevens and fours, with a club flush draw.

Aldrey turned over JsJd for a higher two pair, jacks and sevens, and needed his hand to hold to stay alive.

The river card was the Ac, and Zhivelev completed his flush on the river to win the pot and eliminate Aldrey in 51st place.

Leon Zhivelev  –  1,950,000  (130 bb)
