Loire Wakes Up With a Monster to Score a Million-Chip Knockout
Level 18
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Julien Loire was in the hijack with a raise of 53,000 in front of him before Yevhenii Cherniak moved all in from the cutoff. The table folded back to Loire, who snap-called.
Yevhenii Cherniak: A♣K♠ 
Julien Loire: K♦K♣
Cherniak had run into Loire's kings and was left looking for an ace, but none arrived on the 10♦4♣7♣J♠10♥ board. Cherniak's stack was counted down as 500,000, and Loire had him covered to climb up past 1,000,000.
