Marki Spikes the River in the Biggest Hand of the Tournament
Nível 28
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Mauricio Sanchez raised to 175,00 from the button and Kayhan Mokri three-bet to 1,000,000, from the small blind; a raise equal to nearly two-thirds of his stack. Luca Marki, in the big blind, moved all in for 4,545,000. Sanchez, the covering stack, snap-called.
Mokri, having contributed a huge proportion of his stack already, confirmed that Sanchez did in fact have Marki covered and decided to lay down his hand in an effort to make the pay jump.
Luca Marki: A♦8♣
Mauricio Sanchez: A♥K♠
Sanchez was in great shape to take down this mammoth pot and the 9♣9♦2♠7♣ runout made that seem likely. However, the 8♦ river saw Marki erupt from his seat. "Bam!" he shouted, having hit one of his three outs to leave both Sanchez and Mokri short.
