Joshua Gibson raised UTG+1 to 115,000, Nipun Java reraised from the cutoff to 265,000, and Gibson moved all in for 1,070,000.

Java snap-called with KsKh, and Gibson turned over AhKd. Gibson needed to improve to stay alive.

The board came QcJc10s2c8h, and Gibson flopped an ace-high straight to win the pot and double up in chips.

Joshua Gibson  –  2,265,000  (45 bb)
