SM: J♥J♠

Level 23 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

A peflop raising war saw Sugen Singh three-bet and then call all-in when Roy Bitton pushed to create a pot of nearly 2.5 million on the outer table.

Sugen Singh: A♠K♠ All in
Roy Bitton: Q♠Q♣

The 8♠7♠2♥ flop gave Singh a flush draw and he paired up on the K♣ turn.

"Fuck sakes, come on man," Bitton sighed as he was down to two outs. The 3♦ river let Singh double and Bitton dropped to a short stack.

One hand later, Bitton open-jammed for the last 575,000 and took down the blinds.
