Citrone Goes For it

Level 17 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

After a player had raised to 11,000 it was Carlo Citrone who called with just 31,000 chips left behind. Rumit Somaiya three-bet to 42,500 and the initial raiser folded. Citrone tanked for about a minute and then decided to make the call for his remaining chips.

Rumit Somaiya: {K-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}
Carlo Citrone: {A-Spades}{8-Spades}

The board brought out {9-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{A-Hearts}{4-Clubs} and Citrone doubled up.

Burland Gifted Double

Level 17 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Jamie Burland has a big smile, with a touch of shock, across his face after he was gifted a double up by Mikhail Korotkikh.

Burland raised to 10,000 and picked up four callers en route to a {3-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{4-Hearts} flop. He continued for 21,500 and was called in one spot before Korotkikh check-raised to 60,000 from the big blind. Burland shoved for around 110,000 and Korotkikh was priced in to call after the other player folded.

Burland: {k-Spades}{j-Hearts} top pair.
Korotkikh: {9-Clubs}{3-Clubs} for bottom pair and back door flush flush draw.

The board ran out {a-Clubs}{4-Spades} and Burland pumped his fist at missing the back door draw that nearly came in.

Pasi Sormunen: The Million Chip Man

Level 17 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Pasi Sormunen is the first player to break through the million-chip barrier after he won a big pot of Manig Loeser.

The flop was out and reading {10-Spades}{10-Hearts}{k-Diamonds} when Sormunen led for 13,000 from the hijack. Loeser was in the cut-off and raised to 29,000. Call.

On the {6-Hearts} turn Loeser bet 35,500 and called when Sormunen check-raised to 77,500. The river dropped as the {3-Hearts} and Loeser snap called a 120,000 bet with {a-Hearts}{10-Clubs}. It was no good though as the Finn tabled {k-Spades}{k-Spades} for a flopped full house.

Loeser told Sormunen that he would've called a shove on the river.
