Frese Doubles Through Kamaras

Oh wow, an absolutely enormous hand has fully doubled up Aaron Frese. There were four players in the hand when I caught it on the 5 Q 3 flop; under the gun Peter Kamaras bet 160k, and on the button Aaron Frese made it 630k. Gerianne Dijkstra and Slavomir Rakovan in the blinds got out of the way, but Kamaras made the call.

Heads up to the 10 turn, and Kamaras announced all in. "Oh fuck," said Frese and leant back in his chair. He stayed that way for a long time. A long, long, long time. Finally he made the call.

Frese: A J
Kamaras: 2 6

With both players holding just the flopped flush draw, Frese's the superior one, Kamaras was looking for a miracle inside straight or pair on the river, but the 3 wasn't it. Frese doubled up to over 5 million, while Kamaras is no longer the table chip leader.
