Roman Gadzhiev opened to 800,000 in the hijack and Eduard Norel three-bet to 3,300,000 in the cutoff. Gadzhiev called.

Gadzhiev checked on the flop of 8?7?10? and Norel checked back. Gadzhiev checked again on the A? turn and Norel stabbed for 2,500,000.

Gadzhiev responded with a check-jam worth 9,150,000 and Norel jokingly asked if he could take back his bet and check before folding.

"No ace," said Gadzhiev.

"I know you wanted a call. Why would you check, check-jam?" replied Norel.
