Randy Gil: A♦Q♥
Aaron Overton: J♠J♣
Gil would find one of his overcards early in the race when the flop came 9♠A♠3♣ to give Gil a pair of aces.
The 3♠ turn introduced some more outs for Overton as he held the only spade between the two players.
Gil dodged the flush or jack when the 5♥ hit the river to award Gil the double.
