Polychronopoulos Takes Huge Pot

Level 33 : 100,000/200,000, 30,000 ante

Simon Charette made it 400,000 to go from the button and Athanasios Polychronopoulos moved all in from the big blind. Charette let out a big sigh and muttered, "Wow, wow, wow."

Charette called and tabled {A-Clubs} {9-Diamonds} and Polychronopoulos held {4-Spades} {4-Hearts}. The board ran {J-Hearts} {4-Diamonds} {10-Spades} {2-Hearts} {3-Spades} and Polychronopoulos took a huge lead with a flopped set.

Charette was left with only 395,000 after the hand and Polychronopoulos had almost 10,000,000.
