for aces and queens, and Avitan had the same two pair. Unfortunately for him, his 
was out-kicked, and Skampa takes down the biggest pot in quite some time. He's now up very close to 10 million, putting Avitan down around 7.5 million.

Eyal Avitan raised it up to 430,000 on the button, and Skampa wanted to play for more. He reraised to 1.16 million, and Avitan immediately called.
The flop came down
