Brandon Kessous raised under the gun to 325,000, Jack Thu called from the cutoff, and Billy Pilossoph moved all in from the button for 1,425,000.

Kessous folded, and Thu called with 4s4d. Pilossoph turned over AcJh, and needed to improve to stay alive.

The board came Jc7d5dKh2c, and Pilossoph paired his jack on the flop to win the pot and double up in chips.
