Pierce McKellar opened under the gun for 160,000, action folded to James Hughes who moved all in for 2,320,000, McKellar called.

Pierce McKellar: {9-Clubs}{9-Spades}
James Hughes: {a-Clubs}{q-Spades}

Hughes was at risk and the flop of {6-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{4-Hearts} didn't help.

The turn came the {a-Spades} and Hughes took the lead.

Hughes just needed to dodge a nine and he did as the river came the {j-Spades} and he got the double up.
