Anatolii Zyrin opted for a change of pace and raised to 625,000 on the button, which Brett Apter called. Apter check-called 425,000 on the flop before both players checked the turn.

The river was the and Apter checked a third time. Zyrin fired a shell worth 850,000 and Apter contemplated for a long time. He tried to figure out what Zyrin had and ultimately called it off, but likely didn't suspect the Zyrin was about to show him. The two pair was good and Apter slipped below twenty bigs.
