Can't Get Rid of Payne

Level 41 : Blinds 1,250,000/2,500,000, 2,500,000 ante

Amir Mirrasouli raised to 5,000,000 from the hijack and Jefferson James called from the small blind. Antonio Payne called for his last 3,550,000 from the big blind.

The flop came 1024. James check-folded to the 5,000,000 continuation-bet of Mirrasouli for the cards to go on their backs.

Antonio Payne: J10 All in
Amir Mirrasouli: KQ

Payne was ahead with the flopped pair of tens and stayed there while the rest of the board was completed with the A on the turn and the 6 on the river.

"I'm not going anywhere; you can't get rid of me. I started with half a big blind. The story is growing!" he shouted out while he celebrated a bit with the rail before collecting his pot.
