The player in the cutoff raised to 10,000 before Matt Pongrass re-raised to 32,000 from the button. The action folded back to the original raiser who three-bet to 120,000. Pongrass four-bet shoved for approximately 400,000. His opponent snap-called with around 250,000 behind.

Pongrass revealed pocket aces and had his opponent's pocket jacks covered.

The board bricked out and Pongrass raked in a pot worth over 500,000.
