Amirov Breaks Through the 10 Million Chip Barrier
Level 29
: 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante
Ilkin Amirov is the first player to break through the 10 million chip barrier after a big hand went down involving Olivier Ferrero.
Ferrero opened to 175,000 from the button and Amirov called from the big blind. Amirov checked the 
flop then called a 185,000 continuation bet. Both players checked the 
turn, with Amirov leading for 320,000 on the 
river. Ferrero ent into the tank for three minutes before calling with 
, a hero call that was wrong because Amirov held 
for a better ace-high.
