Doe Rae Me

Level 23 : 12,000/24,000, 3,000 ante

Dick Galarza opened to 50,000 from early position, John Doe called near the button, and Mark Cleverly moved all in for effectively 464,000 on Doe's left. Galarza folded, and Doe tank-called.

Doe: {a-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}
Cleverly: {9-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}

"One million-chip race," Doe announced, getting his friends' attention.

The dealer rapped the table and spread a flop of {a-Spades}{5-Spades}{j-Hearts}, giving Doe a leading pair of aces. He avoided the two-outer on the turn ({6-Clubs}), and the river ({k-Spades}), doubling to 1,038,000 chips.

Cleverly dipped to 700,000.
