Bernardi Doubles in Four-Bet Pot, Ships Biggest Pot of the Tournament
Danny Verheij opened the action with a raise to 400,000 in the hijack. Ali Abdulzahra then three-bet to 1,300,000 in the cutoff, and Luca Bernardi put in a four-bet to 2,500,000 on the button.
Verheij quickly got out of the way, but Abdulzahra called to see the J♥4♠A♥ flop. Abdulzahra checked, Bernardi fired a bet of 1,200,000, and Abdulzahra called.
The 5♣ turn saw Bernardi size up to 2,500,000. Abdulzahra check-called once more, after which he went into the tank on the Q♦ river.
After a while, he decided to move all in. Bernardi snap-called his 4,280,000 remaining chips and tabled A♠A♣ for top set. Abdulzahra could not believe his eyes as he showed J♠J♦ for a lower set.
The massive pot was shipped to Bernardi, who doubled up to become the first player to cross the 20-million mark. Abdulzahra, meanwhile, saw his big stack whittled down to just 12 and a half big blinds.
