Kirill Burtin limped in from the button before Raffaele Castro raised to 900,000 in the small blind. Osman Ihlamur then jammed for 1,775,000 in the big blind. Burtin quickly folded.

"That bad?" Ihlamur said as Castro let out a deep sigh before eventually calling.

Osman Ihlamur: A?J? All in
Raffaele Castro: 5?4?

Castro had been caught making a move as Ihlamur was ahead with his ace. The board came 9?9?2?2? through the turn as Ihlamur was poised for a double up, but the 5? fell on the river to give Castro two pair as Ihlamur lowered his head before heading for the rail.
