Julien Liarte raised to 300,000 on the button and Konstantin Voronin defended his big blind.
The dealer fanned out the Q?5?A? flop, where both players checked through to the J? turn. Voronin led out for 300,000 and Liarte made the call.
Voronin checked the 4? river, tossing in the call after Liarte bet 800,000. Liarte showed Q?J? for two pair, while Voronin flashed the Q? as he mucked. That pot pushed Liarte into the chip lead.
