Dan Bekavac raised from the small blind to about 250,000, Andrew Davidson reraised from the big blind to 600,000, and Bekavac moved all in.

Davidson quickly called all in for 2,375,000 with AsAd, and he needed it to hold to stay alive against Bekavac’s Ah9d.

The board came KdJs4sJd6d, and the pocket aces held up for Davidson to win the pot and double up in chips.

Andrew Davidson  –  4,825,000  (64 bb)
