Frank Funaro raised from the cutoff to 300,000, Richard Seymour reraised from the small blind to 950,000, and Micah Raskin reraised from the big blind to 2,000,000. Funaro folded, and Seymour five-bet all in.

Raskin called all in for 3,450,000 with AsAc, and he needed it to hold to stay alive against Seymour’s KsJh.

The board came Jd6c4c3s6s, and Seymour paired his jack on the flop, but improved no further. Raskin won the pot with his aces to double up in chips.

Micah Raskin  –  7,350,000  (49 bb)
Richard Seymour  –  8,825,000  (59 bb)
