Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Around 1,000,000 was already in the middle as Alejandro Lococo, Andries Swart, and Romain Dolcerocca went to the river on a board of 8♦10♥9♠7♥6♥.

Lococo then moved all in from under the gun and Swart quickly folded. Dolcerocca, though, tanked for more than a minute. He eventually also folded to give the pot to Lococo.

"First I lose a 2,000,000-chip pot with queens. Now I have to shove with kings," Lococo said as he flipped over K♣K♦ and took in the massive pot.
