Vladyslav Shovkovyi raised from the cutoff to 900,000, David Trager moved all in from the button for 7,200,000, and Shovkovyi waited for an exact count before he called with AdJs.

Trager turned over KhQd, and he needed to improve to stay alive.

The board came AhKd7h2dQs, and Shovkovyi flopped a higher pair, but Trager rivered a queen to win the pot with two pair, kings and queens, to double up in chips.

David Trager  –  15,400,000  (39 bb)
