Ranei Aviv raised from the cutoff to 175,000, Billy Pappas moves all in from the button for roughly 1,250,000, and Aviv snap-calls with AhAc.

Pappas turns over Ad9d, and he needs to improve to stay alive.

The board came Kh10h2d8s9s, and the pocket aces hold up for Aviv to win the pot and eliminate Pappas in 29th place.
