Viktor Iarilov opened from early position to 5,500 and Vlad Darie made it 17,000 from the next seat. When it got back to Iarilov, he called.
They saw a flop of 3♣7♣J♥ where Iarilov check-called a bet of 22,000 from Darie to see the 2♣ turn. Iarilov checked again then Darie tossed in a white chip, worth 25,000, and announced a bet of 22,000. Iarilov took out his earphone and confirmed the bet size with the dealer, then plugged his music back in before he made the call.
An A♥ completed the board and Iarilov checked once again, then Darie shoved for around 50,000. Iarilov thought about it for a while and rechecked his cards once, but after some time he made the fold, and Darie took down the pot.
