Kevin Remeile opened to 20,000 from the Hi-jack. The short-stacked PartyPoker Team Pro Matt Staples then moved all in for 42,000 on the Big Blind. Remeile made the call, and the two contestants were soon given the green light to table their holdings.

Matt Staples: AK
Kevin Remeile: A9

Staples had his opponent dominated, and he maintained his lead on the Q38 flop. The 2 turn brought some possibilities for a chop, but the K river ultimately granted Staples the full double-up. “Let’s go, Matt!” brother/fellow PartyPoker Team Pro Jaime Staples rose from a nearby table and applauded his brother.

Kevin Remeile: 435,000
Matt Staples: 97,000
