river, and Gross showed

Peter Chien checked from the big blind on a 
flop, and Harald Casagrande bet 50,000 into what was up to that point a modest pot.
Chien raised to 175,000, and Casgrande thought it over for a few moments before three-betting to 400,000.
The action went back to Chien, who then put in a four-bet for 1,700,000 more. Casagrande shut it down in the face of that bet, which would have forced him to commit all of his remaining chips had he called.
The pot puts Chien at a healthy 2,710,000 chips.
