Kyllonen Nearly Doubles To Reclaim Chip Lead
Jens "Jeans89" Kyllonen opened to 1.2 million on the button and Connor "blanconegro" Drinan defended his big blind. The flop was 
and Drinan checked to Kyllonen, who made a continuation-bet of 800,000. Drinan called.
The turn came 
and Drinan checked again Kyllonen made another bet of 2 million, good for half the size of the pot. Drinan stuck around and the river fell 
. Drinan checked a final time and Kyllonen fired out 6 million into the pot of 8 million, leaving himself with 3.6 million behind. Drinan called.
Kyllonen showed 
for quad aces. The only hand that could top it would have been a royal flush and Drinan could not have had the winning combination given the fact that he called. Drinan mucked and Kyllonen earned the pot of 20 million, retaking the chip lead as play continues.
