Level 33
: Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante
Jerome Neppl on the button opened to 800,000 and received an all-in shove from Sean Hamrick for 4,650,000. Nepple called to take them to showdown, with Hamrick at risk.
Sean Hamrick: A♣4♦
Jerome Neppl: Q♦J♣
Hamrick was ahead with ace-high. His lead was strengthened when he caught a pair on the flop 3♠4♣2♥ and a chance to improve further. Hamrick's hand did improve to a straight when the 5♥ fell on the turn.
The dealer completed the board with a K♣ river then pushed the pot to Hamrick, who was visibly happy with the boost in his stack.
