Joris Michl raised to 500,000 when the blinds moved up holding the Q ♣️ J ♣️ from under the gun. Marc Rivera just flatted the K ♠️ K ♣️ in the big blind and they checked the 9 ♣️ 7 ♣️ 7 ♠️ flop to the 10 ♠️ turn.

Rivera checked his over pair again and Michl bet 700,000 with the straight and flush draw. Rivera then check-raised to 2,000,000 after short deliberation.

Michl pondered about his next move for a few seconds and opted to flat-call with the combo draw.

There was another black card with the 5 ♠️ river and Rivera used a time bank extension before he bet 2,500,000, Michl folded.
