Looks like we spoke too soon. Just when it looked as if the speed of play had slowed down, we were blessed with a double up to tell you about.

Kosta Varoxis is back up over the two million mark, thanks in part to a very lucky river card.

Varoxis got it all in before the flop for his last 990,000 holding {Q-Clubs}

{Q-Clubs}

{10-Clubs}

against chip leader Tyron Krost's {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{4-Hearts}

. Krost held the lead through the turn as the board filled out {9-Clubs}

{9-Clubs}

{6-Spades}

{3-Spades}

{5-Hearts}

, but Varoxis managed to spike the {Q-Spades}

{Q-Spades}

on the river to stay alive.

Krost was left with a still-healthy 5.5 million in chips after the hand.
