. Kovalski continued for 35,000 and was raised by Troyanovskiy to 86,000. Kovalski thought for a while before making the call leaving 140,000 behind.
The turn was the 
and both players checked. A river card 
saw another check from Kovalski and a bet of 112,000 from Troyanovskiy who cut out what it would cost him. It would leave him with just 40,000 if he called and lost. Call he did though and Troyanovskiy showed
