From the cutoff Dario Sammartino raised to 62,000 and Benajmin Pollak three-bet to 145,000 with 465,000 left behind. The action folded back to Sammartino, and he moved all in.

Pollak snap-called.

Sammartino: {Q-Spades}{J-Spades}
Pollak: {A-Clubs}{A-Diamonds}

The flop brought out {6-Spades}{10-Spades}{J-Clubs} and the players at the table cried out a collective, "WOW!"

The turn brought the {3-Diamonds}, keeping Pollak ahead, and the river brought the {Q-Hearts}, giving Sammartino a winning two-pair combination.
