Leo Saiag and an opponent went to the turn on a board of Q♣8♠9♥J♥ when Saiag bet 100,000 from the cutoff. His opponent then moved all in for 740,000 from the big blind.
"This is so sick," Saiag said, standing up from his seat and muttering to himself before calling.
"Good call," his opponent said, turning over K♦Q♦. Saiga had J♦J♠ for a set, and the 6♦ river secured him the big pot to send his opponent to the rail.
Around 200,000 was already in the middle as three players went to a flop of 6♠Q♦K♦. Concetta Rinaldi then bet 80,000 from middle position, and only an opponent in the cutoff called.
Both players checked the K♣ turn. Rinaldi then bet 225,000 on the 3♣ river, and her opponent quickly turned over a queen and tossed it into the muck as he surrendered the pot.
