Krieger Wins Two Million Chip Pot from Lopez
Nível 22
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
On a flop of 4♦10♥Q♥, Philipp Krieger checked under the gun and Sterling Lopez bet 65,000 from middle position. Krieger then check-raised to 420,000 and Lopez jammed for 990,000 effective. Krieger called to put himself at risk and one of the biggest pots of the tournament was in progress.
Philipp Krieger: A♦K♠Q♦J♥
Sterling Lopez: K♣K♦10♦10♣
Lopez held middle set against top pair and a wrap for Krieger. The 9♥ on the turn gave Krieger his straight, and with the board failing to pair on the 6♥ river, Krieger dragged a massive pot to vault to near the top of the leaderboard.
Meanwhile, Mauricio Ferreira Pais and Joshua Steiner wer eliminated at adjacent tables, leaving the field one elimination away from the final three table redraw..
