We pick up the action in a heads-up pot with the flop showing {K-Diamonds} {5-Spades} {7-Spades}. The preflop action is unclear but significant as more than 30,000 chips were already piled in the middle of the table. After a check from Alex Fitzgerald, Kirill Boydachenko slid out a bet of 25,500. The American began stacking out a tower of chips, and he eventually check-raised to 62,000, which Boydachenko quickly called.

The turn brought the {K-Hearts} and another check from Fitzgerald. Without wasting any time again, Boydachenko fired 77,000 at the pot, and Fitzgerald would take his time to consider. He cut down his own chip stack and began to eyeball it against the stack of his opponent, shooting sour looks across the felt. The clock was called on him relatively quickly, but he didn't seem to mind as he quietly said, "I fold," after about another 30 seconds.

After that exchange, Boydachenko has leapt up to 390,000, dropping Fitzgerald back to about 180,000.
