Jameson Painter raised from the cutoff seat, and Daniel Idema made the call from the big blind to go heads up to the flop.
It came down 
, and Idema check-called a bet. He did the same on the 
turn, and one more time on the 
river. At showdown, Painter tabled 
for three pair, and it was second best. Idema tabled his 
, and two pair beats three pair in this case.
That pot pushes Idema up to about 1.3 miillion, while Painter falls back under the million-chip mark.
