Level 23 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

There were roughly 150,000 chips in the pot on a board of 4♦7♠7♦7♣.

Turlough Mchugh in the big blind bet 115,000, but got raised to 300,000 by Arthur Demirchyan who was on the button. Mchugh called.

The 8♠ on the river did not slow Demirchyan down, once Mchugh checked, Demirchyan fired out a bet of 400,000. Mchugh went deep into the tank before he eventually folded.
