The under-the-gun player raised to 5,000 and was three-bet by Paul Lilly in middle position to 12,500. Under the gun called.
The flop came K♦J♣A♠ and under the gun check-called a bet of 11,000 from Lilly, bringing the K♣ turn. Under the gun check-called again, this time for 18,000.
On the 7♦ river, under the gun checked for a third time and Lilly moved all in to put his opponent at risk who had 82,500 behind.
"You got ace-king here, or jacks?" asked under the gun.
"Better," replied Lilly.
"Aces huh?" continued under the gun.
Under the gun eventually decided to make the call and saw the bad news when Lilly tabled A♣A♥ for a full house, aces full of kings.

The return of the PokerStars Big Game on Tour could have been rebranded as The Alan Keating Show.
Keating won the first six hands in the $200/$400 no-limit hold'em cash game, pushing around the table from start to finish. But he wasn't the only winner at the table.
Luke Moy, the second Loose Cannon of Season 2, had never bought into a poker game for more than $400, but he didn't play scared. He was staked $100,000 to face experienced high rollers, including Keating, Jason Koon, Lex Veldhuis, poker vlogger Alexander "Wolfgang" Seibt, and comedian Morgan Jay.

Under the gun: K♥Q♠
Kyle Janisse: K♣K♦
Janisse's pair of kings remained in the lead all the way as the board ran out Q♦4♦3♥6♦A♠.

Scott Janik raised to 4,500 on the button and Matthew Molino put out a large three-bet from the small blind, enough to put Janik all in.
The big blind folded and Janik, who had 68,000 behind, took some time to think through his decision before surrendering his hand.
Molino flashed 8♦2♠, which got quite the reaction from his fellow tablemates.
