The turn card is the Diamond A, and both players check.

The river card is the Spade Q, Syzghanov bets 2,000,000, and Michot uses two Time Chips to tank for more than a minute before he raises to 8,000. Syzghanov thinks for a while before he calls.

Michot says he has the nuts, and turns over Heart JSpade 10 for an ace-high straight. Syzghanov shows one card — the Heart A — before he mucks.

Yakiv Syzghanov  –  5,800,000  (12 bb)
