Tsai Gets There on the River, Neugebauer Pays Him Off

Level 34
: Blinds 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante

Max Neugebauer limped in on the button with A♥6♠, Eric Tsai raised to 2,500,000 with K♠Q♣, and Neugebauer called.
Both players checked the A♣10♣2♣ flop before Neugebauer led out for 2,000,000 on the Q♠ turn with his pair of aces. Tsai called with his queens and straight draw as the J♠ fell on the river.
Tsai completed his straight and bet 3,200,000 after Neugebauer called. The Austrian lifted up his sunglasses to get a good look at the board and spent a few minutes shuffling his chips before calling as Tsai took the big pot to close the gap in their heads-up match.
