Seaver Kyaw Doubles With Improbable Ace on the River

Level 20 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

We heard a loud roar from one of the feature tables, so we ran over to discover that Seaver Kyaw had won a pot worth nearly 2 million. And the way he did it was nothing short of amazing.

Kyaw was all in for 964,000 preflop with {A-Clubs}{A-Diamonds} against Nikolai Sears, who had {K-}{K-}. The flop came down {K-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}{7-Spades}, giving Sears top set, although you'd never know it because we didn't hear a peep from the table. The turn was the {10-Spades}, and Kyaw picked up outs to a straight. The river: the {A-Hearts}, and Kyaw shot out of his seat and over to his rail, who joined in with his loud celebration. After the stacks were counted down, Sears was left shaking his head with just 555,000 to work with, and Kyaw was sitting on nearly 2 million.
