Artur Martirosian raised to 175,000 in the hijack and Bryce Yockey three-bet the pot on the button. Both blinds folded and Martirosian then moved all in, Yockey called.
Bryce Yockey: A♦A♣K♥8♦
Artur Martirosian: A♠A♥9♠6♦
The 10♥9♣8♠K♦8♣ runout gave Yockey eights full of kings and he doubled for 1,450,000.
"In the history of PLO, nobody has won a tournament without winning with aces against aces," Jeremy Ausmus remarked.
"I saved all my run-bad for this tournament," Yockey replied.
