Damir Zhugralin raised to 4,000 under the gun and received three callers, including Qiang Xu in middle position and Viktoriia Benderova on the button.
The flop came 3♦6♠7♣ and action checked to Xu who bet 4,000. Benderova and Zhugralin both called and the 8♦ fell on the turn.
Zhugralin then led out for 8,500 and both opponents called. The river was the J♠ and Zhugralin checked to Xu who bet 15,000.
Benderova quickly called, while Zhugralin gave up his hand. Xu showed 8♥6♥ for two pair, but Benderova had 7♥7♠ for a set as she took the pot.
