Perner Cracks One Million

On a board of {5-Hearts}{8-Spades}{K-Clubs}{4-Spades}{10-Diamonds}, Bernard Perner checked the action to Bingjian Wu with nearly 300,000 in the pot.

Wu bet 100,000 and Perner, as is his style, took a long time to make a decision before making the call. When Wu showed {A-Spades}{K-Diamonds}, Perner showed {K-Hearts}{4-Clubs} for two pair. That pot lifted Perner's stack to more than one million chips.
