Alen Bakovic opened from middle position and big blind Wei Yan defended. No bets landed on the flop 10 ♥️ 6 ♦️ 7 ♦️ for a free turn card 3 ♥️. 

Bakovic resumed betting for 135,000 and Yan check-called. The river Q ♦️ was checked again by Yan. Bakovic fired 900,000 which covered Yan's 625,000 remaining chips. After tanking, Yan found reason to call and it was the right decision as Bakovic showed a bluff K ♥️ J ♥️. 

Yan shipped a well deserved a double up with 9 ♠️ 7 ♥️ 

PLAYER CHIP COUNT
Wei Yan 1,810,000
Alen Bakovic 2,450,000
