Iliyas Mukhamedzhanov opened from the hijack and Grigoli Liklikadze three-bet from the button. When the action got back to Mukhamedzhanov, he shoved, and Liklikadze snap-called for his stack of around 900,000.

Iliyas Mukhamedzhanov: A♠4♠

Liklikadze's hand went from good to incredible on the 2♥Q♥3♥ flop as he picked up a flush draw, which removed one of Mukhamedzhanov's outs. A 7♦ on the turn changed nothing, but a devastating 4♣ on the river paired Mukhamedzhanov, and meant Liklikadze was eliminated.

"Excuse me, are you from Brazil?" asked Dumitru Pora to Mukhamedzhanov. "These are Brazilian cards," he added.
