David McConachie raised to 500,000 on the button, Pau Veciana moved all in, and McConachie called for 3,760,000.
David McConachie: A♦Q♦
Pau Veciana: A♣5♦
Both players hit top pair on the A♥10♠3♥ flop, but McConachie was ahead with his queen-kicker as the 10♦ turn opened the possibility of a chop. The 6♠ river was safe for McConachie and he doubled up.
