Blind on blind, Brittany Spain was all in for 1,715,000 against Michael Dobbs.
Spain's A♦A♣ held against the A♥6♦ of Dobbs and she doubled up over 3.5 million.
"I almost folded," said Dobbs who was left with just over a million in chips.
Action picked up preflop when Martin Ward went all in from middle position and was snap-called by Darryll Fish with a massive stack from the small blind.

Darryll Fish: A♣9♦
"I just need to hold!" Martin Ward exclaimed as the flop came out J♥2♠J♠ and the table erupted with laughter. The 4♥ turn and 3♦ river secured Ward's double up as someone remarked that he wasted his 'hold'.
