Dominik Nitsche limped in from early position and Anatoly Filatov raised to 225,000 on his left. Chin Wei Lim was in the big blind having both players covered and shipped all in. Nitsche stuck in the last of his 1,540,000 chips and Filatov tossed his cards.

Not only did Nitsche have the higher pocket pair, but he also had both of the suits covered. The board ran out 
and Nitsche held on to double up.
