Vladimir Troyanovskiy three-bet to 3,000 in the small blind before Daniel Tafur four-bet to 9,800 in the big blind. Didier Rabl called in the hijack, as did Troyanovskiy and they went three-handed to the A?4?7? flop.
Tafur then bet 28,000 and Rabl called for his last 27,700. Troyanovskiy got out of the way.
Didier Rabl: K?7?5?2? 
Daniel Tafur: A?K?K?Q?
Tafur was ahead with a pair of aces while Rabl was on flush and straight draws. The 7? turn was safe for Tafur, but the 6? came on the river to give Rabl his flush and earn him a double up.
After the hand, Rabl admitted the only reason he played his hand was because he thought the game was Omaha Hi-Lo.
