Shane O'Connell had three-bet jammed from the cutoff, and Audrius Daugvilavicius called the 790,000 bet from early position.
Shane O'Connell: A♥Q♥
Audrius Daugvilavicius: 8♠8♥
The 2♠9♣10♣9♦ board presented O'Connell with some counterfeit outs, but it was the Q♣ river that paired him up and gave him the winning hand.
He thanked the dealer as he stacked up his newly acquired chips, closing the gap with Daugvilavicius.

Douglas Culligan defended his big blind versus a raise of 175,000 from Cathal Shine in the small blind.
Shine continued with a bet of 120,000 on the 6♠3♦3♥ flop. Culligan quickly called.
On the 10♦ turn Shine fired out a bet of 350,000 and again Culligan got his calling chips in speedily.
The 8♣ river completed the board and Shine produced the river jam for 805,000. Culligan, who covered Shine, thought about the spot for roughly 90 seconds before mucking his hand.
Glenn Keogh limped in from under the gun after which Francis Dervan min-raised to 100,000 from the button.
The action folded back to Keogh, who put in a three-bet to 400,000. Dervan looked agonized but decided to muck his cards, leaving himself with roughly 20 big blinds.
Jamie Whyte jammed his short stack of roughly 300,000 chips in from the button and received a call from Shean Lai in the small blind.
Jamie Whyte: A♦7♠
Shean Lai: Q♠J♥
Both players flopped a pair on 4♠Q♣Q♥, but the 9♠A♠ runout gave only White trips, doubling him up.
Tarka Roche opened to 100,000 in early position and was met with a three-bet to 400,000 by Marc MacDonnell.
Roche paused for thought before reaching for chips and putting in a four-bet to 900,000. MacDonnell thought for quite some time before putting his hand in the muck.
Action folded to Mark Bennett in the small blind who called.
Joseph Mullen was in the big blind and after a short period of thought moved all in, slightly covering Bennett. Bennett made the quick call.
Mark Bennett: A♥K♦
Joseph Mullen: Q♥10♣
Bennett had laid the trap with ace-king but the 10♦9♥2♥ flop meant he was behind Mullen's pair of tens. Bennett was closer to the exit after the 5♣ turn but the K♥ rolled off on the river to give him the double-up.

Blinds: 25,000/50,000
