Michael Mizrachi raises the button to 245,000, but Vladimir Schmelev responds with a re-raise to a total of 790,000. Mizrachi makes the call as there's a huge mountain of chips in the pot before the flop is even dealt.
The flop falls 
and Schmelev comes out swinging with a bet of 1.1 million. Mizrachi quickly calls with little hesitation. This is now a make or break pot.
The turn is a repeat 
. Schmelev puts on the breaks and checks over to Mizrachi who checks behind.

Schmelev turns over 
, almost embarassed, but his rivered pair of sixes is best as Mizrachi mucks!
