The big blind checked on the A♥ turn and Kovalski sized down to 40,000. The big blind called.
The A♣ river completed the board and the big blind took some time before leading out for 40,000. Kovalski gave it some thought and called. The big blind could only show a bluff with 8♣5♦ as Kovalski showed 9♠7♥ to win the pot with sevens full of aces.
