Tkatschew Rivers a Boat to Scoop 1,600,000-Chip Pot
Level 16
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
A huge pot was brewing with around 500,000 chips in the middle between Jimmy Gorham and Alexander Tkatschew. The board read Q♠10♣K♣7♣ and Tkatschew thought about it for a while before making a bet of 250,000, which Gorham called.
On the Q♣ river, Tkatschew again took his time before he announced a bet of 350,000. Before Tkatschew could even put the chips into the pot, Gorham had made the call.
Tkatschew tabled K♦K♠ for a full house, and Gorham didn't seem happy.
"So sick," remarked Gorham as he tabled A♣K♥ for the nut flush. Gorham started the day with over 1,200,000 in chips but now sits with under 400,000 after that huge pot in the opening level.
