Wantman Out-Kicks Vohra For a Double

Level 29
: Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante

Three-handed on a flop of 4?9?3?, Raj Vohra bet 500,000 from the cutoff and Matthew Wantman raised to 1,400,000 on the button. Vohra then moved all in and Wantman called for his last 3,500,000.
Matthew Wantman: A?9?
Raj Vohra: K?9?
Both players had top pair, but Wantman was ahead with his ace-kicker. The board ran out 8?2? and Wantman doubled up.
