Vladimir Troyanovskiy three-bet to 3,000 in the small blind before Daniel Tafur four-bet to 9,800 in the big blind. Didier Rabl called in the hijack, as did Troyanovskiy and they went three-handed to the A♦4♣7♦ flop.
Tafur then bet 28,000 and Rabl called for his last 27,700. Troyanovskiy got out of the way.
Didier Rabl: K♥7♥5♦2♦ 
Daniel Tafur: A♥K♠K♦Q♣
Tafur was ahead with a pair of aces while Rabl was on flush and straight draws. The 7♣ turn was safe for Tafur, but the 6♦ came on the river to give Rabl his flush and earn him a double up.
After the hand, Rabl admitted the only reason he played his hand was because he thought the game was Omaha Hi-Lo.
