Ilia Tahkokallio opened on the button to 230,000, and Marc Inizan called from the small blind. Kevin MacPhee decided to squeeze from the big blind, making it 770,000. He earned a quick fold from Tahkokallio, but Inizan put him to the test, quickly four-betting to 1.7 million. Just as fast MacPhee upped the pressure even more, sliding out 6 million chips. Insta-muck from the pwned Inizan. The huge preflop pot put MacPhee back up to 12.7 million and dropped Inizan to 7 million.
