Jun 2, 2021

Fabiano Kovalski limps Diamond 9Diamond 6 in the small blind and Christian Rudolph checks Diamond KDiamond 3 in the big blind.

Both players hit a draw on the Diamond 7Diamond 8Heart Q flop and Kovalski bets 1.9 million, which Rudolph calls.

The turn is a Heart K and Rudolph now has top pair to add to his flush draw. When Kovalski bets 8 million into the 7.6 million pot, he calls again.

The Diamond 5 is certainly a money card, giving Kovalski the nut straight while also hitting a second-nut flush for Rudolph. Kovalski tanked before stacking all in and Rudolph called to win a huge pot that changes the chip lead once again.
