Niste Can't Get Knight Off the Ace

Level 30
: Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Heads-up in a limped pot between the blinds, Mihai Niste bet 125,000 on a 7?A?9? flop with 8?5? and Curtis Knight called holding A?5? for top pair.
The turn came the 2? and Knight checked over to Niste again, who fired out another 450,000. Knight again stuck around with his pair of aces to the 7? river.
He checked and Niste then surrendered the pot and checked behind.
