With the board showing {6-Diamonds}

{6-Diamonds}

{A-Hearts}

{2-Diamonds}

{9-Clubs}

and a sizable pot having already developed, Toni Judet checked, and Alexander Kostritsyn bet 250,000. Judet then check-raised to 575,000. Kostritsyn thought a moment, then pushed all in for 906,000. Judet made the call.

Judet: {A-Diamonds}

{9-Diamonds}

Kostritsyn: {2-Spades}

{2-Hearts}

Kostritsyn was ahead with his set of deuces. He had to fade an ace, a nine, or a diamond to win one of the biggest pots of the tourney thus far.

The dealer burned one and turned over the river card -- the {8-Diamonds}

{8-Diamonds}

, giving Judet the flush and a huge pot.

After that one, Judet is up to 2.96 million, while Kostritsyn has slipped to 820,000.
