Ben Gazzola raised to 190,000 on the button and Parker Talbot three-bet to 605,000 in the big blind. Gazzola called.
The flop came 2♠3♥J♥ and Talbot check-called a bet of 300,000, bringing the A♦ turn.
Talbot led out with a bet of 620,000 and Gazzola made the call.
On the 10♠ river, Talbot moved all in, putting himself at risk and Gazzola asked for a count.
The dealer confirmed that the all-in bet was 1,280,000. After taking some time to think through his decision, Gazzola made the call.
Talbot quickly turned over J♦J♣ for a set of jacks, besting the A♥6♥ of Gazzola, who had a pair of aces.
