Biggest Pot Yet!

Alexey Rybin

For the second hand in a row, Allan Bække opened to 135,000. This time, Erik Tamm three-bet to 335,000 on the button, but the action wasn't done yet. In the big blind, Alexey Rybin took pause for just a minute before moving all in with a huge reraise to 3.17 million. Bække let out a wisecrack and a smirk before folding, but Tamm shook his head and made the call as the only covering player at the table. With a pot of nealy 7 million chips up for grabs and Rybin at risk of elimination, the cards were on their backs:

Tamm: {Q-Spades} {Q-Clubs}
Rybin: {A-Hearts} {Q-Hearts}

Tamm was about a two-to-one favorite, but he was clearly more nervous than Rybin as he paced around back and forth behind his chair. After a pause to build the suspense, the dealer ran out a flop full of blanks, {10-Diamonds} {2-Diamonds} {7-Hearts}. The turn {10-Spades} didn't change much, leaving Rybin dead to one of the three remaining aces.

River: {A-Spades} (Bink!)

It took several shoves of the dealers arms to get all 6.545 million chips into Rybin's corner, and he has now taken over the chip lead in the room with that amount. We're still waiting to get an eye on Tamm's remaining stacks, but he can't have very much at all.
