Aleksandrs Golubevs raised to 180,000 with the {5-Spades}{5-Hearts} and Manuel Bueno called in the small blind with the {7-Clubs}{6-Clubs}, as did Leon Louis in the big blind with {a-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}.

The flop came {8-Clubs}{8-Spades}{4-Diamonds} and Bueno check-raised from 150,000 to 485,000, which Golubevs called and Louis got out of the way.

A huge turn card came for the German as the {9-Clubs} provided a ton of equity, and he bet 395,000, Golubevs gave it some consideration and elected to fold.
