David Levi raises under the gun to 100,000, and Emerson Ward calls from the big blind.
Both players check to the river on a board of KQ4J3, Ward bets 250,000, and Levi calls with AA for an overpair. But Ward turns over KK to win the pot with a set of kings.
Yes, David Levi had pocket aces with fewer than 20 big blinds and managed to escape with minimal damage.
Emerson Ward – 2,000,000 (66 bb)
David Levi – 280,000 (9 bb)
