Steve Karp raised from the cutoff to 600,000, and Johnathan Norris called from the small blind.

Both players checked to the turn on a board of Ac7h6sKd, Norris bet 300,000, and Karp called.

The river card was the 7c, Norris bet 3,300,000, and Karp thought for a few moments before he called. Norris showed Qh10d for a queen-high bluff, and Karp turned over Ad8c to win the pot with a pair of aces.

Steve Karp  –  26,500,000  (88 bb)
Johnathan Norris  –  10,100,000  (34 bb)
