Joao Barroso Valli: A♦A♠

Najeem Ajez opened from middle position. Ben Hoy was in the cutoff and raised to 550,000. It folded back to Ajez, who went all in for about 1,300,000 chips. Hoy took a moment and then called. Ajez said he did not want to see that call and they turned over their hands.

Ben Hoy: 10♠10♣

Ajez was behind and the board 7♥4♣K♦5♣Q♥ sent him to the rail.
