Overton Chips Up Versus Awwad

Aaron Overton opened to 500,000 from the cutoff before Gregory Pon called from the small blind and Ryan Awwad called from the big blind.

The Q♦10♥8♦ flop led to a round of checks to bring the A♦ turn. Pon checked before Awwad bet 400,000. Overton called, but Pon folded.

The 9♥ river led to a bet of 850,000 from Awwad. Overton went into the tank, playing four time banks in the process.

"You got it?" asked Overton as he thought the hand over. Eventually Overton put in the call to go to a showdown.

Awwad showed K♥7♦ for king high before Overton tabled A♠Q♠ for a pair of aces to claim the pot.
