Level 36

Kai Cohen on the button raised to 1,600,000. Kartik Ved in the small blind asked how much Cohen had behind, looked at his chips, then announced all-in for 15,900,000.
Antonio Vargas in the big blind looked down at his cards, looked at both Cohen and Ved, then announced all-in for more than 50,000,000 chips. Cohen quickly folded his hand and left the two players to head to showdown.
Kartik Ved: Q♦Q♥
Antonio Vargas: A♣10♠
Vargas' rail cheered when the flop fanned out 2♥A♥4♦. Vargas was chanting "Stay!" as the dealer peeled the 5♠ turn. The rail and Vargas erupted in cheers of joy when the river fell the 7♠. Ved left the table visibly frustrated as Vargas happily scooped the pot.
