Joseph Santagata raised on the button and in the big blind, Andrey Zhigalov three-bet, which Santagata called.

Santagata called bets from Zhigalov on the turn 6♦ and the river 6♠ as well.
Zhigalov tabled K♠J♦ for kings and jacks, but the board pair river put Santagata's A♣A♥ in the lead and he took a sizable pot with aces-up.
