Leo Boxell opened to 185,000 and then action folded over to Ernst Hermans in the small blind. He took some time and then reraised to 465,000. Boxell put in another raise, making it 965,000 to go.

"I'm all in." announced Hermans.

"How much more is it?" asked Boxell. It was verified that Hermans was all in for 900,000 more than Boxell's raise. He then tanked for some time, but eventually made the call.

Hermans tabled {K-Diamonds} {K-Clubs} against Boxell's {Q-Diamonds} {J-Clubs}.

The flop came down {A-Hearts} {8-Diamonds} {2-Diamonds} to keep Hermans ahead. The turn card was the {8-Clubs} and now Boxell was drawing dead. The {A-Diamonds} completed the board on the river.

Hermans doubled to over 3.5 million while Boxell was crushed down to 790,000. After the hand, Aaron Benton began egging on Hermans some more about the chop.

"You wanna chop? You're not going to chop now right with all those chips?" said Benton.
