Benjamin Valder raised to 5,000 in the hijack and was three-bet by Michael Taylor on the button to 18,000. Valder made the call.
The flop came 6♠6♦10♠ and Valder checked. Taylor bet 10,000 and Valder quickly called, bringing the 8♥ turn.
Valder checked again and Taylor bet 20,0000. Valder quickly called again and the 2♣ landed on the river.
Valder checked for a third time and Taylor elected to check back, tabling A♠A♦ for two pair, aces and sixes.
Valder mucked his cards and the pot was pushed Taylor's way.
