After a series of raises between Raine Kempe in the cutoff and Jason Mercier on the button, Kempe wound up all in for roughly 700,000 with {K-Clubs}{K-Spades} against Mercier's {A-Hearts}{A-Spades}.

The board came down {J-Clubs}{9-Spades}{6-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}, no help to Kempe, locking up the pot for Mercier.
