Savchenko's Boat Sails on the River

Action was picked up on the turn with a board of 4♦K♠10♠A♦. Thomas Murphy, in middle position, check-called Alexander Savchenko's bet of 240,000.

After another check on the river A♥, Savchenko asked how much Murphy had behind. Murphy moved to show his stack but the dealer mistook it to mean to actually count the chips prompting Sebastian Medina to make a comment that the dealer shouldn't do that. The dealer continued, nonetheless, but after a second complaint, stopped.

Murphy allowed it to happen, however. Savchenko fired 1,000,000 into the pot. Murphy asked for a count which somewhat frustrated Savchenko. Murphy separated the chips and eventually made the call.

Savachenko tabled A♠10♥ for a full house on the river, triggering a muck from Murphy.
