Ian Cohen raised from the cutoff to 550,000, Richard Seymour moved all in from the small blind for 6,275,000, and Cohen thought for a while before he called with AsQc.

Seymour turned over Ah10c, and he needed to improve to stay alive.

The flop came Js7s3c, giving Seymour no draws.

The turn card was the 2c, and Seymour was down to just four outs. He needed a ten and only a ten to stay alive.

The river card was — the 10s!

The Seymour-friendly crowd erupted in celebration as Seymour paired his ten on the river to win the pot and double up in chips.
