Millionaire's Corner

[user22113]

Here in the Brasilia room we have a table that has started to lean. As the table break and players move to their new seats three of the biggest stacks have landed next to one and other.

Richard Alm, seat seven, has 520,000.
Benjamin Zamani, seat eight, has 460,000.
Harold Akiona, seat nine, has 320,000.

All totaled these three seats have 1,300,000 in chips. This is about the average total for any of the remaining 5 tables.

Yeh Can't Be Beat

Big Stacks Tussle

MarcC

Ben Zamani and Harold Akiona have just played out a pot. It was a raised pot before the flop came {9-Hearts}

.

Zamadi led out for a 21,000 bet before Akiona raised to 71,000.

Zamadi called before the turn came {8-Hearts}

. This slowed played down considerably as they checked it and the {10-Clubs}

river.

Zamadi showed {9-Diamonds}

for a set.
Akiona showed {Q-Hearts}

for a flopped flush and the pot.

Both players on 320,000 now. It's a wonder why Akiona didn't want to bet the river after it was checked to him for a second time.
