Kenny Hallaert raised to 1,900 on the button as action folded to Aliaksandr Shylko in the big blind. "Nine? Milking," Shylko joked as he tossed in the chips to call.

The Q♣ fell on the river and Shylko checked again. Hallaert then bet 5,000 and Shylko paused for a moment before calling. Hallaert turned over Q♦9♣ for a rivered pair of queens and Shylko mucked.
