Joey Padron and Maxim Babko went to the turn on a board of 4♣7♣2♦9♦ when Padron bet 2,000,000 from the button. Babko called in the hijack.
The river was the 9♠ and Padron bet another 2,000,000. Babko then moved all in, and Padron quickly called for 5,450,000.
Babko showed A♦A♥, but Padron had A♣9♣ for rivered trips as a devastated Babko buried his face on the rail while the massive pot was pushed over to Padron.
