Heads-up on a flop of 8♠9♣3♠, Heni Mokni on the button bet 425,000 and Alexis Rozenblat in the big blind check-called.
Rozenblat led out for 525,000 on the 8♥ turn, but Mokni didn't back down and called.
The 4♦ completed the board and Rozenblat fired a second barrel of 1,000,000. It took a minute for Mokni to fold J♥10♦ for a missed straight draw. Rosenblat had 9♥7♣ for two pair.
Heni Mokni raised to 500,000 from the button and face Alexis Rozenblat in the big blind.
Rozenblat check-called after Mokni bet 400,000 in the 9♣6♦5♥ flop, then both players checked the Q♣ turn.
On the Q♠ river, Rozenblat checked again then went into the tank after Mokni bet 1,400,000. He eventually called with A♦10♣. Mokni with 10♠9♦ had two pair and he scooped the pot.
