After a flop of QhJc6c, Michael Amato was all in from the cutoff for 3,200,000 with 6s6d for a set of sixes, and he needed it to hold to stay alive against the Qd9c (pair of queens) of Micah Raskin in the big blind.

The turn card was the 2c, giving Raskin additional outs to a club flush, and the river card was the 7h. Amato won the pot with his set of sixes to double up in chips.

Michael Amato  –  7,800,000  (39 bb)
