Perceval Has the Goods

Level 24 : 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante

Ruben Perceval opened to 650,000 in early position and was called by Armin Rezaei on his left and Qi Hu in the big blind. The flop came {k-Spades}{7-Clubs}{4-Spades} and Hu checked to Perceval who continued for 1,300,000. Rezaei folded and Hu check-raised all in for 8,600,000. Perceval looked back at his cards and then called.

Perceval: {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds}
Hu: {k-Hearts}{6-Hearts}

The turn brought the {4-Hearts} and Hu was drawing to just two kings in the deck. The river brought the {10-Spades} and Perceval's aces held up to eliminate Hu.
