Michael Collins was all in from the hijack for 890,000 with Ah9h, and he needed to improve to stay alive against the AdQc of David Carl, who was under the gun.

The board came 9s5h3c7s6c, and Collins paired his nine on the flop to win the pot and double up in chips.

Michael Collins  –  1,880,000  (47 bb)
David Carl  –  325,000  (8 bb)
