With just a few big blinds left, Gonzalo Almada raised himself committed from under the gun. Carl Shaw stuck the rest in from the big blind and Almada called.

Akshat Bajaj raised to 1,000,000 in middle position, Colin Robinson three-bet to 2,400,000 on the button, Bajaj four-bet all in for 9,500,000, and Robinson called.

Akshat Bajaj: A♠K♥ All in
Colin Robinson: A♣Q♥
