Ramon Gonzalez raised from the hijack to 575,000, David Shmuel moved all in from the cutoff for 4,950,000, and Gonzalez called with AhKh.

Shmuel turned over QhQd, and needed it to hold to stay alive.

The board came 5s5d3d2h7d, and Gonzalez turned a gutshot straight draw, but improved no further. Shmuel won the pot with his pocket queens to double up in chips.

David Shmuel  –  10,400,000  (52 bb)
