"ximendes": Q♥Q♦
Daniel "dani aziz" Aziz: A♣A♦

In an unbelievable turn of events, Aziz had woken up with pocket rockets, and was in great position to score a massive pot and the double knockout. After the 8♥3♠6♦ flop, he was more than a 9:1 favorite to do just that. The 5♥ turn and 10♦ river completed the board, and Aziz's aces were still best. He scooped both the main and side pots, winning more than 37,000,000, giving him a comfortable chip lead.
