Roland Rokita limped from the small blind and Artem Metalidi raised to 950,000 from the big blind. Rokita added the remainder to call.
A flop reading was dealt and checked through to the
turn and to the
river. Rokita checked for a third time and Metalidi bet 700,000. Rokita check-raised to 2,000,000 and Metalidi went deep into the tank for a few minutes, staring at his opponent then threw in chips, signifying a call. Rokita tabled
for ace-high and Metalidi tabled
to take down the pot with nines and sixes.
