Our PokerNews reporter picked up the action three-handed between Hasan Anter, Bassel Moussa and Donald Depew on a board that read {4-Hearts} {Q-Spades} {Q-Clubs} {J-Diamonds} ; Depew checked out of the small blind before Moussa bet out 66,000 from the big blind.

Anter flat-called from the cutoff, as did Depew before the blinds checked to Anter on the river of the {3-Spades} . Anter fired out 225,000 and Depew was the only caller, but despite him showing down {K-Spades} {J-Clubs} for two pair, Anter tabled {A-Spades} {Q-Diamonds} for trips. Anter is now the first player past the 1.5 million chip mark!
