The turn was the {5-Hearts}

and Snead checked over to Crilly who bet out 400,000. Snead made the call as a big pot was brewing.

The river was the {8-Spades}

and Snead moved all in for 2.2 million. Crilly sighed flashing {A-Diamonds}

and tossed his cards into the muck. Snead flipped over {10-Diamonds}

for an aggressively played pair of sixes, much to the surprise of the table!
