Skarparis Crosses Five Million
Level 27
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
In middle position, Greg King checked the K♠K♥6♥4♦ turn over to Georgios Skarparis on the button, who added 225,000 to the pot of 850,000.
King called to the K♦ river, which both players quickly checked. Skarparis tabled A♣9♣, narrowly beating the A♠8♣ of King and eclipsing the five-million mark.
