Perceval Eliminated in Almost a 10-Million Chip Pot

With about 800,000 in the pot already, on a board reading , Ruben Perceval checked from the big blind. Aaron Czaja was on the button and bet 225,000. Perceval called.

The river was the and Perceval checked. Czaja bet 320,000 this time and Perceval went into the tank. After about a minute, he check-raised all-in for 2,205,000. Czaja looked confused and torn, and asked for a count. He went into the tank for about five minutes. Eventually the waitress came by and set a plate of food down behind Perceval. She walked away and Perceval decided to reach into his pocket to pay for his dinner. He put some money back into his pocket, and that was when Czaja tossed in a single chip to call.

Perceval tabled for two pair sevens and fives, and Czaja triumphantly tabled for two pair jacks and fives to scoop the massive pot worth just shy of 10 million in chips. Perceval was eliminated and calmly moved his chips over to Czaja's stack before walking away from the table.
