Level 29 : 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante

Donovan Dicken, under the gun, opened to 300,000 and got called by the player to his left, Antonio Vargas.

After action folded around, the dealer fanned out 6♠5♠8♣, and Dicken continued with 300,000. Vargas went beyond and made it 800,000. Dicken called to see another card, which turned out to be the 6♦, pairing the board.

Dicken, unfazed by the increasing heat, check-called Vargas' 1,825,000 bet. Finally, on the river 4♥, Vargas fired another 1,650,000 into the massive pot, sending Dicken to the tank.

After a few seconds, he declared a call, prompting Vargas to table 9♦6♥ for trips. Dicken mucked his hand, visibly frustrated.
