Marius-Catalin Pertea limped the small blind and was raised to 800,000 from the big blind by Fabiano Kovalski. Pertea then three-bet to 2,750,000 and Kovalski four-bet jammed for 7,700,000, slightly covering Pertea who snap called to put himself at risk.
Marius-Catalin Pertea: A♥7♥
Fabiano Kovalski: 8♠8♣
The flop came9♦9♥5♥ giving Pertea a flush draw, and the turn was the A♣ pairing his ace.
Kovalski would need an eight, but the 10♦ fell instead as Pertea doubled up to take the chip lead while Kovalski was left with fumes.
