There Were Like a Million Chips in That Pot

Konstantin Maslak opened a can of worms with a raise to 18,000 before the flop. Andreas Eiler then stuck in a three-bet to 63,000, and the small blind called all in for his last 49,000 total. When it came back to Maslak, he thought for a minute before moving his big stack of more than 600,000 all in. After just a quick moment, Eiler called all in with his final 424,000 to put a huge pot up for grabs.

Showdown
Maslak: {A-Hearts}

Eiler:

Small blind: {A-Spades}

"Queen, please," said Eiler quietly as the dealer burned a card. It must be nice to just call for a card and bink it; the dealer ran a flop of {3-Spades}

. The

on the turn gave the small blind a couple draws to try and hit, but the river {2-Clubs}

was a blank.

Somehow finding his third queen, Andreas Elier drags in a monsterous pot, the largest of the tournament so far. We're still waiting for him to finish stacking it up, but it looks like he'll be well over 900,000 after that score.
