Hieu Luu led off the action with a raise to 175,000 from middle position. Charlie Elias shoved for over 2 million from the cutoff and Luis Nargentino snap-called from the small blind, having him covered. After tanking for a bit, Luu folded {9-Hearts} {9-Clubs} face-up.

Elias {A-Spades} {K-Hearts}
Nargentino {Q-Hearts} {Q-Diamonds}

The flop was {7-Clubs} {5-Hearts} {2-Clubs}.

"You may have saved me" said Luu.

The dealer then burned and turned the {9-Spades}.

"Oh no..." moaned Luu. "I wish you didn't do that now!"

The river was the {2-Hearts} and Nargentino took down the massive pot, sending Elias to the rail in 53rd place. Nargentino is now up to 7,440,000 in chips.
