Koskas and Heitmann Break 200,000 Barrier

[user50492]

Eric Koskas and Jan Heitmann are the first players to move over 200,000 in chips. They have 215,000 and 203,000 respectively and Koskas has just been moved to the same table as Heitmann so there could be a massive pot if the right situation occurs.

Slotboom Chops A Big One

[user40108]

Rolf Slotboom raised to 5,400 from early position and the player to his immediate left made the call. A late position player put in a raise to 20,000 total. Action folded back around to Slotboom who carefully counted his chips, and analyzed the situation. After about 3 minutes, Slotboom pushed all in for roughly 20,000. The player who cold called Slotboom's raise folded and the re-raiser instacalled. Despite all the buildup, both men showed A-K. The flop matched neither player's suits and they chopped the pot.
