Constantin checked and Isla bet 450,000. Constantin raised to 1,000,000 and Isla three-bet to 2,200,000. Constantin four-bet jammed for 6,200,000 and Isla called.

The {3-Hearts} on the turn and the {3-Clubs} on the river paired the board to give Constantin a better two pair than his opponent. With the double-up, Constantin was back in the lead.
