Ankit Ahuja raised with A♦5♦ in early position to 500,000, and was called by Ruben Costa, who was in the big blind with Q♦10♦.

The flop ran out 10♠5♣10♣. Both players got a piece of it, but Costa got the large part.

Costa checked, prompting Ahuja to bet 450,000. Costa then check-raised to 1,050,000 and Ahuja went all in, which covered his opponent. Costa snap-called with trip 10s.

The dealer placed 8♣ on the turn and Q♣ on the river, giving Costa a double up on a 7,272,000 pot and leaving Ahuja on fumes.
