Action was picked up on the flop with roughly 250,000 in the pot and the board showing 9♥3♦5♥.
Sanjeev Kapoor was first to act and bet all in for 740,000. Stone Malick got the count, and put in chips to call.
Sanjeev Kapoor: A♠K♦
Stone Malick: A♥J♥
Kapoor just had ace-king high but was good for the moment, as Malick had a smaller ace, but the nut flush draw to go with it. The board ran out 8♣ on the turn, A♣ on the river and the ace-king of Kapoor was still best to secure the double up.
