Jared Kingery open-shoved a stack of around 38,000,000 from the middle and Sridhar Sangannagari quickly called out of the big blind with his opponent covered.

Jared Kingery: {a-Hearts}{10-Hearts}
Sridhar Sangannagari: {7-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}

Kingery was flipping for his tournament life and the flop came {a-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{a-Diamonds} to propel him into the lead with trip aces. The {6-Diamonds} on the turn kept things interesting as Sangannagari had a flush draw, but the innocent {j-Spades} on the river secured the double-up for Kingery.
