: Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante
Brandon Shimamoto limped from the small blind and Luke Varrasso checked his option from the big blind.
The flop fell 9♣10♣A♥ which saw Shimamoto bet 500,000, Varrasso raised to 1,500,000, and Shimamoto called.
When the 6♠ hit the turn, both players elected to check to see the 4♠ river. Shimamoto bet 2,250,000, and Varrasso quickly called.
Shimamoto tabled A♦5♥ for a pair of aces, but Varrasso had A♣6♣ for two pair and took the pot,
