Niall Farrell, last year's WPT Caribbean Main Event winner, opened to 30,000 with partypoker sponsored pro Jan-Peter Jachtmann putting in the three-bet to 75,000.

Action folded back to Farrell, who announced 182,000, while popping in two blue 100,000-value chips. In response, Jachtmann reached for his entire stack and slid it over the line, announcing a five-bet "all-in." Farrell called immediately and whipped over {k-Hearts}{k-Spades} while Jachtmann tabled his {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}.

"It's pretty hard for kings to win against ace queen," grumbled Farrell, as the dealer spread a {10-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{6-Hearts} flop. He managed to fade the ace on the {8-Spades} turn and the {7-Hearts} river to double up right before the break.
