Kovalski Takes a Huge One from Nasreddine

Level 30
: Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

With 1,000,000 in the pot already on a turn board of K?9?2?8?, Rania Nasreddine checked 10?9? to Fabiano Kovalski who bet 700,000 from under-the-gun with K?Q?.
Nasreddine called with her second pair, and on the 8? river, she checked again and faced a bet of 1,350,000.
The start of day chip leader thought briefly, but then incorrectly called with her nines and eights, falling to Kovalski's kings and eights.
