Ludger Cracks Aces, Wins a Million

In the cutoff seat, Norbert Ludger limped into the pot, and he called a raise of 35,000 from Bernardo Dias on the button.

The two men went heads up to a flop of {K-Hearts} {6-Clubs} {J-Clubs}. Ludger knocked the table, allowing Dias to continue out with a bet of 65,000. He then stuck in a check-raise to 140,000 before Dias three-bet shoved all in. Ludger quickly called for his own tournament life, putting a pot of nearly one million chips up for grabs!

Showdown
Ludger: {K-Spades} {J-Diamonds}
Dias: {A-Spades} {A-Diamonds}

Ludger had found his two pair, needing to fade the aces and the screwy two pair possibilities to double up. The {3-Hearts} on the turn was as safe as any card, and the {10-Diamonds} on the river was just fine for him as well.

Kings up are kind to Ludger, and he's tallied that huge double in the largest pot of the tournament.

Ludger - 980,000
Dias - 170,000
