Deuces Leap Gromov Into the Lead

Level 25 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Dmitry Gromov and Koray Korkmaz had already built a pot of around 800,000 heading to the river on a board of {7-Spades}{2-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{6-Spades}. Gromov, in the cutoff, bet 750,000 and Korkmaz, under the gun, asked for an exact count before he threw in a chip to call.

Gromov turned over {2-Spades}{2-Diamonds} for the flopped set that was good enough to win the massive pot as he's now approaching 6,000,000.

Level 25 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Koray Korkmaz
Koray Korkmaz

Koray Korkmaz three-bet to 360,000 from the hijack as action folded around to Viktor Ustimov in the small blind, who moved all in. The rest of the table folded, but Korkmaz quickly called for his last 1,715,000.

Koray Korkmaz: {q-Spades}{q-Diamonds}
Viktor Ustimov: {a-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}

It was a classic flip with more than 3,000,000 in the middle, and Korkmaz would come out on top as the board came {10-Clubs}{j-Spades}{8-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}.
