John Tavss was down to 5,000 chips, and went all in from the hijack, and after Matthew Sabia raised, it was heads up with Tavss at risk.
John Tavss: A♥3♣
Matthew Sabia: K♣9♣
Tavss had the best hand with ace high, and once the board ran out 10♥5♥5♦8♣J♥ the ace high was best to get Tavss to 100,000.
The very next hand Tavss rasied all in for 100,000, and was called by Sarah Wasch in the cutoff, Max Pinnola in the small blind, and the big blind Alexander Wiggins.
The flop came A♥10♦J♠ and after Pinnola checked, Wiggins bet 200,000, which got both players to fold, leaving Wiggins and Tavss heads up.
John Tavss: AxKx
Alexander Wiggins: Ax9x
Wiggins said before turning his cards over "I actually have a monster" and after the board ran out the ace-king was still best, to give him 480,000 chips after being down to 5,000 just two hands prior.
