Level 7
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Damir Zhugralin raised to 4,000 under the gun and received three callers, including Qiang Xu in middle position and Viktoriia Benderova on the button.
The flop came 3?6?7? and action checked to Xu who bet 4,000. Benderova and Zhugralin both called and the 8? fell on the turn.
Zhugralin then led out for 8,500 and both opponents called. The river was the J? and Zhugralin checked to Xu who bet 15,000.
Benderova quickly called, while Zhugralin gave up his hand. Xu showed 8?6? for two pair, but Benderova had 7?7? for a set as she took the pot.
