Hand #9  –  Brian Senie raises under the gun to 50,000, Shon Mekyten (UTG+1) calls, and Hans Winzeler reraises from the button to 112,000. Senie and Mekyten both call.

The flop comes [8h4c2s], Senie and Mekyten both check, and Winzeler bets 147,000. Senie folds, and Mekyten check-raises to 450,000. Winzeler moves all in for 797,000, and Mekyten thinks for a while before he calls with [5c5s]. Winzeler turns over [AcAs], and he’ll need it to hold to stay alive.

The turn is the [6s], giving Mekyten a double-gutshot straight draw, but the river is the [Ac]. Hans Winzeler wins the pot with a set of aces to double up in chips.

Hans Winzeler  –  1,920,000  (80 bb)
Shon Mekyten  –  770,000  (32 bb)
