Maksim Shornikau jammed for 1,750,000 from the hijack, and Dzhavanshyr Omarov called for his stack of 1,700,000 from the cutoff.

Dzhavanshyr Omarov: A♠Q♦ All in
Maksim Shornikau: A♦8♦

Both players started with ace-high, but Omarov was well ahead thanks to his superior kicker.

The board ran out 4♣3♣J♠A♥6♦, giving both players a pair of aces, while Omarov's queen kicker earned him the double-up.
