Gorka Akerreta raised to 160,000 in the hijack before Julien Loire three-bet to 900,000 on the button with 10♠10♣. Akerreta folded K♣6♣.
Turlough McHugh then shoved for 450,000 under the gun, and Akerreta called in the big blind.

Gorka Akerreta: A♠9♦
McHugh took the lead on the K♣6♦2♦ flop with top pair, then held on through the 8♥ turn and 4♥ river to double up.
