Level 35 : Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante

Akshat Bajaj raised to 1,000,000 in middle position, Colin Robinson three-bet to 2,400,000 on the button, Bajaj four-bet all in for 9,500,000, and Robinson called.

Akshat Bajaj: A♠K♥ All in
Colin Robinson: A♣Q♥

Robinson hit the queen on the Q♠8♥4♥ flop and Bajaj was in trouble. The 6♥ on the turn opened up a flush draw, but the 2♦ on the river bricked.

With the hand, Robinson has over 40% of the chips in play with five people left.

"Motherf*cking payjump!" John Reiter blurted out.
