Level 20 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Adrian Cazacu made it 50,000 to go from middle position and Bastian Dohler called on the button. Max Neugebauer squeezed to 170,000 out of the small blind, and once the big blind folded, Cazacu four-bet jammed for 545,000. Dohler folded, but Neugebauer took another look at his cards before making the call.

Adrian Cazacu: Q♠Q♥ All in
Max Neugebauer: A♣A♠

Neugebauer had Cazacu crushed and would see his stack soar to over a million if his aces held up.

Neugebauer kept the lead on the J♣10♣4♦ flop and K♣ turn. Cazacu couldn't find any of the cards he needed on the 2♣ river as Neugebauer improved to the ace-high flush.

Cazazcu headed to the cashier's desk and Neugebauer's stack grew to roughly 1,400,000.

Dimitrios Gkatzas: K♣K♥
