The turn was the 
. Chavaillaz slowed down and checked, while Chen fired 350,000. Chavaillaz called.
On the 
river action went check, check, and Chavaillaz turned up 
for a rivered two pair, and it was good enough to scoop the pot.
On the second hand Chavaillaz raised the button to 225,000. He was only called by Varela in the big blind.
The flop fell 
and Varela check. Chavaillaz bet 375,000 and Varela called.
