Mario Colavita opened the action with a raise to 2,000, which was called by Nikolai Tulin in the small blind, and the big blind Michael Liang.
The flop came 9♠5♥2♦ and it was checked to Colavita who bet out 3,000. Tulin made the call, when Liang raised to 9,500. Colavita called, and Tulin folded to leave the players heads up.
After the 7♣ on the turn, Liang bet all in for his stack of 18,500, which was snap called by Colavita.
Michael Liang: K♦9♦ 
Mario Colavita: 5♠5♣
