Level 19
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Roman Sahin was all in for 920,000 from early position and up against Briant Alavez in the hijack with nearly 2,000,000 at stake.
Roman Sahin: A♦A♣ 
Briant Alavez: A♥K♦
Sahin showed down a pair of aces and was a big favorite to earn the massive double up as the flop came 3♣Q♥8♣. The 10♦ turn gave Alavez a straight draw, but Sahin held up on the Q♣ river as he earned the pot.
