Reichard Wins A Huge Pot
Josh Reichard opened to 1,600,000 from hijack and got two callers in Alejandro Ganivet in cutoff and Kaiwan Fang in the big blind.
The flop came 9♠4♥9♦. With action passed to him, Reichard fired another 1,800,000 into the pot. Ganivet called but Wang got out of the way.
The turn 5♥ dropped and Reichard, relentless, shot out another 6,200,000 and Ganivet, unfazed, stayed on.
Finally, the river 7♥ was dealt and Reichard placed in 7,400,000 sending Ganivet to a long tank. It was so long that the floor was called for clock.
Ganivet went on a short panic when he was told he only had 5 seconds to the stall. But all the players agreed to give him 30 seconds because of the size of the pot.
On the last second, he made the call. Reichard showed Q♣9♣ prompting Ganivet, visibly frustrated, to throw his hand to the muck pile.
