Swain Survives by Cracking Seabrook's Aces
Level 27
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Yannik Seabrook raised to 130,000 from under the gun and Thomas Swain shoved from the next seat for 445,000. Philip Joyce cold-called in the small blind, and Seabrook shoved for almost 1,200,000. Joyce had around 600,000 behind, but elected to fold.
Thomas Swain: 6♦6♠ 
Yannik Seabrook: A♣A♦
Swain was way behind, but all of a sudden saw light at the end of the tunnel as the 7♠9♦8♥ flop gave him an open-ended straight draw. A 10♣ on the turn completed his straight, which didn't impress Seabrook. There were still chances to chop the pot, but the 2♣ river was a brick, and Swain survived.
