Hand #116 - Vladimir Schmelev

Vladimir Schmelev has the button in Seat 3. He opens for 225,000 and David Oppenheim calls from the big blind.

The flop is {5-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} and Oppenheim checks to Schmelev, who bets 250,000. Oppenheim calls and they go to the turn. It's the {6-Spades} and both players check. The river is the {4-Spades} and Oppenheim bets 500,000. Schmelev insta-calls.

Oppenheim shows {6-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} for two pair sixes and fives, but Schmelev reveals {8-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} for eights and fives and takes down the pot. He's up to about 7.5 million.
