Kevin Asquith opened to 12,000 on the Button. Chip leader Asif Illyas decided to defend his Big Blind.

Illyas checked the 9♣6♦10♣ flop, and Asquith continued for 15,000. “Gamble,” Illyas said, as he threw in a fistful of purple 25,000 chips, effectively forcing Asquith all in for 64,000. Asquit made the call without any hesitation.

Asif Illyas: 10♥7♠
Kevin Asquith: Q♣Q♠

Asquith was ahead, and as the board completed with 4♣J♣, he managed to dodge the many outs of Illyas. As such, Asquith doubled up through the chip leader.

Asif Illyas: 475,000
Kevin Asquith: 154,000
