Saeed First To Reach a Million
Abu Saeed raised to 15,000 in middle position. Harry Casagrande three-bet to 50,000 on the button, and Ethan Hunt cold-called in the big blind. Saeed called as well, and the dealer dealt the 9♥5♣J♣ flop.
Ethan Hunt led out with a bet of 75,000, and both opponents called. He then bet the pot of 382,500 on the 2♠ turn. Saeed spent some time in the tank before he called, and Casagrande followed with an all-in call for 127,500.
Ethan Hunt's final 60,000 flew in on the K♠ river, with Saeed instantly looking him up. Ethan Hunt tabled K♦K♣7♣6♦ for a rivered set, but it was no good as Saeed and Casagrande had both made the nuts.
Saeed won the entire side pot and half of the main pot with A♦Q♥J♠10♣, while Casagrande's A♥Q♠10♠3♥ chipped him up to near two starting stacks in chips.
