Ido Ashkenazi moved all in from the cutoff for 545,000, and Edgar Vares called from the button with AcQd. Ashkenazi turned over AhKd, and he needed his hand to hold to stay alive.

The board came KcJc2hJd3d, and Vares flopped a gutshot straight draw, but improved no further. Ashkenazi won the pot with two pair, kings and jacks, to double up in chips.

Aaron Kupin claimed he folded pocket deuces in the big blind, which would have won the hand.

Ido Ashkenazi  –  1,250,000  (21 bb)
Edgar Vares  –  425,000  (7 bb)
