Level 4 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante

With a flop of J♦J♣6♣ on the felt, Yaroslav Ohulchanskyi checked and Marle Spragg fired a bet of 2,100 into the pot of 6,100. Ohulchanskyi called.

The 4♦ fell on the turn, and Ohulchanskyi led out for 4,000 before Spragg clicked to 8,000. Ohulchanskyi thought about it for about 10 seconds and made the call.

The 3♠ completed the board on the river, where Ohulchanskyi announced all-in for about 12,000, and Spragg snap-called, dropping a chip across the line.

Ohulchanskyi showed 6♥5♥ as he saw the A♣A♦ of Spragg and stood up from the table.
