Nikita UstiuzhaninRintaro Kagawa raised to 500 from the cutoff and button Nikita Ustiuzhanin put in the sole call.
The dealer fanned the 8♥ A♦ 4♦ flop and Kagawa check-called Ustiuzhanin's 1,000 continuation-bet.
The K♣ landed on the turn and Kagawa checked once more, before Ustiuzhanin fired 3,200. Kagawa stuck around.
Ustiuzhanin fired a hefty 12,800 on the 4♠ river and the Japanese player paid it off, only to much as Ustiuzhanin flicked over 8♦ 8♣ for a flopped set of eights.
