On a heads-up flop of [4s6cAs], Andriy Kovalchuk checked to Brent Philbin who bet 140,000 and Kovalchuk called.
On the turn [8c], Kovalchuck checked, Philbin moved all in, and Kovalchuk snap-called for less.
Philbin tabled [9h9s] for a pair of nines, but Kovalchuk had him beat with [Ad8h] for a turned two pair.
The river was the [2h] which changed nothing and Kovalchuk was shipped the pot for the double.
Kovalchuk - 2,000,000
Philbin - 515,000
