Richard Baker limped in from middle position, Peter Hsu did the same from the hijack, Fabian Foster called in the small blind, and Phu Vo checked his option in the big blind.

The flop was As10c9c and action checked to Hsu who shoved with a covering stack. Foster folded, Vo folded, and Baker called all in for about 7,600,000.

Baker:  Ad10h
Hsu:  Qc8c

Baker was ahead with aces and tens against Hsu’s draws.
