Dimtrijs Prohorovs raised to 10,000 from the hijack, and both blinds Matas Cimbolas and Leon Sturm called. The flop of Q♣4♥Q♥ was then checked to Prohorovs, who continued with another 10,000 bet. Cimbolas folded but Sturm had other plans and put in a raise to 32,000.
Prohorovs called and the 9♦ turn was dealt. Sturm kept up the aggression with a bet of 65,000, and once more Prohorovs made the call.
On the 6♠ river, Sturm went for a sizing of 160,000. Prohorovs thought about it for a little while before deciding he could not fold. He called and saw the bad news when Sturm tabled K♣Q♦ for trip queens. Prohorovs showed his Q♠ before cutting out the call from his stack.
By winning this pot Sturm passed the one million-chip mark.
