Bahri is ahead but has plenty of outs to fade versus Syzghanov’s flush draw and overcards. 

The turn is a brick, but the hits on the river to send Syzghanov the double-up. Bahri doesn’t immediately realize he’s been rivered, presumably too concerned about missing clubs, and hits the table in frustration when it sinks in a second or two later.

Yakiv Syzghanov – 215,000 (21 bb)
Elias Bahri – 105,000 (10 bb)
