Argyriadis Holds for Huge Pot
Level 12
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
"Alakazam" raised to 42,000 under the gun and was called by both Harry Casagrande in the hijack and Gergo Nagy on the button. Christos Argyriadis then made it 223,000 to go in small blind, after which "Alakazam" went all in for 483,000.
Casagrande quickly got out of the way and Nagy followed suit after some thinking time. Argyriadis, however, stuck in a call as the two players headed to showdown.
"Alakazam": A♠K♥Q♠4♥ 
Christos Argyriadis: A♥A♦8♠6♣
"Alakazam" did not hit the 7♥8♣3♥7♣4♦ board enough, leaving Argyriadis' aces to scoop up the pot and knock "Alakazam" out.
