Richard Seymour raised from the small blind to 1,100,000, and Michael Amato called from the big blind.

The flop came 9c6s6d, Seymour bet 500,000, and Amato called.

The turn card was the Kh, and both players checked.

The river card was the 9d, Seymour bet 1,800,000, and Amato thought for a while before he called. Seymour showed 5d4d to play the board (two pair with a king kicker), and Amato turned over Ah3d to win the pot with the two pair on the board and his ace kicker.
