Ashfin Clears A Million
The player in middle position opened with a raise to 33,000, with Afshin Fattahi calling on the button, and the big blind coming along as well, to make it three to the flop.
The dealer spread 
which all three players checked and, after the 
landed on the turn and action checked to him again, Fattahi confidently took a 40,000 stab at the pot. The big blind quickly folded, with the original raiser sticking around to see one more card. The 
hit the river, with both players checking, and Fattahi tabling 
. His opponent re-checked his hole cards before discarding them and conceding the 200,000-chip pot.
Fattahi calmly scooped in the huge chunk of change and buried it deep in his way-over one million-chip stack. He's as good as a lock to make the money, with six players required to bust before we conclude the day's action.
