"You Can Turn Your Car Off"; Irion Hits Another Miracle
Level 18
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
With around 300,000 in the pot on a board of K♥J♦J♣3♥, Zeph Irion got in his last 231,000 from the cutoff as Phil Guillen put him at risk on the button.
Irion showed A♠K♦ for top pair, but he was behind as Guillen turned over K♠Q♣ for two pair. Irion was already walking away from the table when the 10♣ fell on the river to give him a straight and the miraculous double up.
"You can turn your car off," tablemate Tyler Klumb told him.
"He was drawing dead, and now he has a million," Klumb added as the massive pot was pushed over to Irion.
