Nelson Cracks A Million
Nelson Robinson is the first player to crack a seven-figure stack today, courtesy of the following hand. Robinson started the action with a raise to 32,000 from the hijack. Francisco Azeres made the call in the small blind and with the big blind out of the way, the dealer spread a 
flop across the felt.
Both players checked here and a 
landed on the turn. This time Azeres lead for 39,000 and Robinson called. On the 
river, Azeres bet 63,000 and after some though, Robinson again called.
Robinson:   |
Azeres:   |
Robinson's hand was strong enough to rake in the pot, while Azeres took a small hit to his stack.
