Vadim Shlez raised on the button holding Q♥9♥ and was quickly called by Rostyslav Sabishchenko, who held K♣Q♠.
Both players saw Q♣6♠8♠ hit the flop, giving each top pair. Sabishchenko held the edge with the K♣ kicker which he checked. Shlez bet, and Sabishchenko called.
However, the turn gave Shlez the lead when 9♦ came on the board. Sabishchenko checked once again. Shlez bet and was called.
The J♦ hit the river, putting a four-card straight on the board. Sabishchenko checked and Shlez bet, putting pressure on his opponent. Sabischenko decided to call and saw the bad news, as the 3,500,000 pot was pushed to Shlez.
