Kelly Black raised from the button to 300,000, Joe Shammas moved all in from the small blind for 750,000, and Black said he didn’t have a good hand and thought for a bit before he called with 9d5d.

Shammas turned over AdAc, and needed it to hold to stay alive.

The board came 7s4c2hKs6d, and the aces held up for Shammas to win the pot and double up in chips.

Joe Shammas  –  1,750,000  (14 bb)
