Aces Hold for Millions
Erik Nordstrand raised from under the gun to 70,000. Dong Suh called from the cutoff, and the action folded to Martin Kabrhel who elected to make it 300,000. Both players called.
The flop read Q♥7♣5♣ and after some deliberation, Kabrhel moved his remaining 725,000 chips into the middle. Nordstrand did the same, making the bet 785,000 to go, and the action was on Suh who would also make the call.
Erik Nordstrand: Q♦J♣9♣9♦
Martin Kabrhel: A♥A♣9♥6♥
Dong Suh: K♣K♦8♣6♠
Kabrhel asked the dealer for a clean runout, and the dealer provided a 5♠ turn card, and a 10♦ river. Kabrhel successfully faded the plethora of potential cards that would have ended his tournament and scooped in a massive pot of slightly under 3,000,000 chips; while Nordstrand hit the rail, and Suh was left wounded.
