Francort Wins the Biggest Pot of the Tournament So Far
Level 24
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
From under the gun, Javier Francort raised to 210,000 and was immediately three-bet by Grzegorz Derkowski from the cutoff to 720,000. When it got back to Francort, he called to see a flop.
The dealer spread out a flop of 8♦5♣9♦ and Francort bet the pot for 1,580,000 with 90,000 behind. Derkowski jammed with the covering stack and Francort called.
Javier Francort: J♣10♣9♥7♦ 
Grzegorz Derkowski: Q♠Q♥9♠8♥
Francort had a wrap against the top two pair of Derkowski. Francort took the lead by improving to a straight on the J♠ turn. The 6♦ fell on the river to complete the board, meaning Francort doubled to almost five million, while Derkowski was left with just a few big blinds.
