Pillai Wins Million Chip Pot With Sixth Pair

Blinds: 6,000/12,000

"S_R732" raised to 26,400, and Shankar “Burgersssss” Pillai called next to act. "st0neydanza" reraised to 96,789, and both players called that raise. The flop of {9-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{5-Hearts} saw action check to "st0neydanza", who fired 106,110. Only Pillai would call, and the {4-Diamonds} hit the turn. Another check from Pillai saw "st0neydanza" bet out 239,664.

Pillai thought for a bit before calling, and both players would check the {10-Diamonds} river. Pillai could only muster up {3-Spades}{3-Diamonds}, but the underpair to the board was enough to defeat "st0neydanza."
