Calderone Drills the Turn to Double; Jure Busts
A pot of over a million just went down on Table #36 between Eros Calderone and Angelo Arossi.
Calderone's stack of roughly 575,000 got into the middle preflop from the small blind, and Arossi was trying to win them all out of the hijack.
Eros Calderone: Q♦J♠ 
Angelo Arossi: A♠Q♣
Calderone was in terrible shape with queen-jack against the ace-queen of Arossi.
The dealer spread the 8♥8♠10♦ flop that helped Calderone, as he picked up some extra outs with a straight draw.
A 9♦ on the turn was the perfect card for Calderone, as he spiked his straight to take a commanding lead in the hand.
Arossi couldn't find a jack on the river to chop the pot, as the A♦ completed the board. Calderone won the pot with a queen-high straight and boosted his stack to around 1,200,000.
At a nearby table, Hrup Jure was seen heading to the exit and has been eliminated.
