Kamel Breaches Three Million
Level 24
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
There were already around 200,000 chips in the pot on a 2♦6♠Q♥A♠ board when Umberto Ruggeri fired out 85,000 from under the gun. Tamer Kamel then put in a raise to 190,000 from middle position, and Ruggeri called.
When the K♦ dropped on the river, Ruggeri tapped the table and after a short tank, Kamel knuckled back.
Ruggeri then showed a pair of queens with Q♠J♦, but Kamel had turned an ace with A♣3♣ to scoop the pot, which brought his stack to over three million!
