Level 49 : Blinds 8,000,000/16,000,000, 16,000,000 ante

Ramaswamy Pyloore limped in on the button, after which Courtenay Williams jammed all in in the big blind. Pyloore quickly called off his 163,000,000 chips, providing the first all-in and call of the heads up battle.

Ramaswamy Pyloore: A♣Q♣ All in
Courtenay Williams: 3♥3♣

The 10♠J♥K♠ left little to sweat as Pyloore flopped the nut straight. Williams had no chance at a part of the pot after the 2♦ turn, and the 2♥ river was dealt for show as Pyloore raked in his double-up.
