William Kerkaert raised to 175,000 in the cutoff. Sam Soverel responded with a three-bet to 575,000 in the small blind, which Kerkaert called.

Soverel then potted the 10♥5♥4♠ flop for 1,250,000. Kerkaert went all in for only a little more, and Soverel snap-called with the covering stack.

William Kerkaert: A♠A♦Q♥7♥5♣ All in
Sam Soverel: A♥A♣9♥6♣3♦

Both players had aces, but Soverel had the better low draw and better flush draw.

The Q♦ turn upgraded Kerkaert to two pair to take the lead, but Soverel's nut flush completed on the 6♥ river to send the Day 1 chipleader out in 13th place.
