Minko Stuns Crema in Massive Pot
Level 16
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Felipe Boianovsky raised to 80,000 in middle position before Vladimir Minko three-bet to 160,000 in the cutoff. Thiago Crema then moved all in for 1,600,000 in the big blind and Boianovsky took a moment before folding A♥Q♥.
Action went back on Minko, and he went deep into the tank and took several minutes until eventually calling with a nearly identical stack.
Thiago Crema: A♦K♣ 
Vladimir Minko: A♠K♠
Both players showed down ace-king and were poised to chop up the massive pot, but the 7♠7♦5♠ flop gave Minko a freeroll to a flush. The 2♠ turn gave him his flush, and Crema was sent to the rail after the 6♦ river while Minko took a big chip lead over the final table.
