Matt Wantman

Action folded to Drew O’Connell in the small blind, he moved all in, and Matt Wantman called at risk for 1,050,000 from the big blind.

Wantman: Ks8h
O’Connell: 6h4h

Wantman was ahead but had to dodge those two live suited cards in O’Connell’s hand. The AsAcTh flop was safe, O’Connell picked up a heart draw on the Ah turn, but Wantman pulled a double after the 9d river.
