With the final board showing AdJd9s4s5h on the river and about 1.3 million already in the pot, Ramon Gonzalez moved all in from the big blind for 720,000.

His opponent tanked for a long time before he called from middle position with As3s for a pair of aces.

But Gonzalez turned over Ah8h for a pair of aces and a higher kicker to win the pot and double up in chips.
