Dan Colpoys raised under the gun to 40,000, Caleb Piderit moved all in from the cutoff for 375,000, and Darren Elias moved all in over the top from the button for 605,000. Colpoys folded.

Piderit turned over AsAh, and needed his hand to hold to stay alive against Elias’s JsJc.

The board came 9s5h4dQs5c, and the pocket aces held up for Piderit to win the pot and double up in chips.

Caleb Piderit  –  840,000  (42 bb)
