Leo Taffe opened to 900,000 after waking up with A♦A♣ again. Mike Vanier defended with 5♦3♥.
Vanier paired up on the 10♠4♦5♣ flop and check-called for 1,050,000. The K♥ turn hit the felt, and Vanier check-jammed for 7,230,000 after Taffe fired a second barrel of 3,000,000. Taffe quickly called, and the cards were tabled.
Taffe was ahead with his pair of aces and he improved to a set on the A♠ river to seal the victory.
