The action had gotten pretty lethargic here at our final table, but Samuel Gerber and Craig Bergeron just played a huge pot that had many in the gallery arching their eyebrows in shock and surprise.

Samuel Gerber and Craig Bergeron took a raised flop of {10-Clubs} {9-Diamonds} {5-Hearts}. Gerber led for 110,000 and Bergeron called behind him. The turn {9-Spades} paired the board but didn't slow Gerber down. He fired again, making the price of poker 200,000. Bergeron called a second time.

The river came down {6-Diamonds}. Gerber paused slightly before moving all in for 907,000 total. Bergeron thought things through and then called, creating a pot worth approximately 2.6 million chips. Gerber tabled {j-Clubs} {9-Hearts} for trip nines, a hand that caused Bergeron to slam the table in frustration. He opened {k-Clubs} {q-Spades} and then paid Gerber off.

When the stacks were adjusted, Gerber had climbed to 2.6 million in chips, while Bergeron settled into fourth chip position with just 365,000.
