The Ten-Million-Chip Man
The first two players folded to the blinds, and Martin Finger raised to 160,000. David Boyaciyan defended his big blind, and the dealer gave them a 
flop. Check-check, and the 
hit fourth street. Now Finger led out with 170,000, and Boyaciyan made a quick call. On the river, the 
drew a check from Finger, and Boyaciyan took his cue to make a bet of 255,000. It didn't work. Finger check-raised to 850,000 total, and Boyaciyan gave it a forlorn look for a couple minutes before surrendering.
