Biggest Pot So Far

A ton of action just went down at our final table, and at the end it was Sergey Altbregin who was most excited about it. Sam Farha started with a pre-flop raise. He was re-raised by Sergey Altbregin and four-bet by James Dempsey. Rich Zhu, in the big blind for one bet, took three to the face and everyone else called.

On a flop of {j-Clubs} {3-Hearts} {8-Spades}, Dempsey acted first and bet. Zhu called before Farha raised. Altbregin quickly called all in and Dempsey and Zhu also called, creating a main pot of 1.2 million chips.

The action checked to Farha when the turn came {2-Diamonds}. "That counterfeits somebody. I love it," said Farha. He bet and both Dempsey and Zhu called.

The river was the {5-Clubs}. Again Farha bet when checked to, and Dempsey did not seem pleased.

"That's a good sign," said Farha. "I love it. You're a good dealer." Dempsey tanked for about a minute and a half before calling.

"Sick, sick game," said Zhu. "Since you called I'm folding." He flashed two red aces.

At showdown for the side pot, Farha showed {k-Clubs} {10-Clubs} {3-Diamonds} {j-Diamonds} for a flopped two pair. Dempsey showed {k-Diamonds} {k-Hearts} {a-Clubs} {3-Spades}, a live ace for low. They chopped the side. But an excited Altbregin triumphantly showed down {a-Spades} {9-Spades} {4-Clubs} {7-Clubs} for the main pot. He had a wheel and scooped 1.2 million.
