"Stonniepokes" Reaches Seven Figures in Chilling Fashion
In Level 21 with blinds of 7,000/14,000 and an ante of 1,750, all of the chips got into the middle preflop between "Stonniepokes" in the hijack and "TheDoors87," who was in the big blind and at risk for their tournament life.
"TheDoors87": 
"Stonniepokes": 
"TheDoors87" found themselves in a favorable scenario with their aces up against ace-king. The flop came 
to give "Stonniepokes" a pair of kings and backdoor Broadway outs to a chop. The turn 
left "TheDoors87" needing to fade just the two remaining kings in the deck. Unfortunately for them, they were unable to do so as the river 
improved "Stonniepokes" to trips and scored them the knockout.
After the pot, "Stonniepokes" finds themselves at 1.28 million and has become the first player in the tournament to reach a seven-figure stack with 25 players remaining.
