: 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante
The worst thing that can happen to a poker player fighting for the chip lead deep in a major event is to run kings into aces.
That is exactly what just happened to Luigi Knoppers. The beneficiary, Michael Tureniec.
Tureniec opened to 110,000 from under-the-gun. Action folded to Knoppers in the cutoff and he made it 320,000. Tureniec four-bet to 710,000 and called Knoppers' five-bet shove, putting himself at risk.
Tureniec: 
Knoppers: 
A sick, sick cooler that could not have gone down any other way. Knoppers still had hope and a shot at taking a monster chip lead.
The board, however, ran true for Tureniec, fanning out 
and Tureniec was pushed the largest pot of the event thus far.
