Davies Doubles Through Chivukula When Both Have Aces
Level 4
: Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
From the blinds, Seth Davies and Venkat Chivukula got into a pot of over one million preflop with Davies being all-in and at risk.
Seth Davies: A♠A♥8♥2♣ 
Venkat Chivukula: A♣A♦7♣5♦
Both had aces, so it looked likely to be a chop pot. However, the 6♦2♠5♠ flop gave both players something that might win them the whole pot. The 2♥ turn improved Davies to trip deuces and only a five on the river could help Chivukula. The 7♦ fell on the river and Davies won the pot, while Chivukula was left with crumbs.
