Kyle Taddei raised UTG+1 to 300,000, Joost Schippers reraised from middle position to 1,500,000, and Taddei moved all in.

Schippers called all in for 2,000,000 with 10s10d, and he needed it to hold to stay alive against Taddei’s KhQh.

The board came As10c7s7d5h, and Schippers flopped a set of tens and turned a full house to win the pot and double up in chips.
