Matthew Higgins limped in on the button, and Dominik Panka checked back in the big blind.

First to act, Panka checked on a 95J flop to Higgins, who bet 15,000,000. Panka then put in a check-raise to 38,000,000, and Higgins responded by moving all in. Panka snap-called, putting his stack of around 90,000,000 at risk.

Dominik Panka: J7 All in
Matthew Higgins: AA

Higgins revealed that he had limped in with pocket aces, and Panka had flopped top pair.

The A turn improved Higgins to top set, but Panka was still in it, having picked up a flush draw.

It was the 10 that completed the board, sending Higgins and his rail into jubilant celebrations.

Panka shared a handshake with the champion before heading out.
