Byron Kaverman raised it up to 700,000 from early position and Erik Seidel re-raised to 2,400,000 in the cutoff. The action was back on Kaverman who four-bet jammed all in for 12,135,000. Seidel asked for a count and then made the call.

Erik Seidel: {q-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}
Byron Kaverman: {a-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}

The flop came {6-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{2-Hearts} and Seidel was still in the lead with his pair of queens. The turn brought the {k-Diamonds} giving Kaverman a pair of kings. The river was the {7-Spades} and Kaverman got a full double up to near the top of the leaderboard.
