El Fki Wins a Monster to Take the Chip Lead
Level 12
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Mehdy El Fki and Luismanuel Fernandez built a pot of around 30,000 as they went heads-up to the 4♣2♥6♣ flop. Fernandez then got his last 110,000 in from the cutoff, while El Fki put him at risk in the small blind.
Luismanuel Fernandez: Q♦6♥ 
Mehdy El Fki: 9♣9♥
El Fki was ahead with his nines against Fernandez's top pair, and the 2♣ turn and K♠ river were safe for him to scoop the massive pot as El Fki became the first player to cross the 400,000-chip milestone.
