Incredible Cooler Sees Dicu Score Double-Knockout
Level 25
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
In a three-way preflop confrontation Ivan Zhechev was all in from the cutoff for around 800,000 and Jordan Sparagana was all in from blinds for a bit more. They were at risk against Marian Dicu in middle position, who had started the hand with a bit over 1,100,000.
Ivan Zhechev: K?K? 
Jordan Sparagana: K?K?
Marian Dicu: A?A?
Dicu was in unbelievably good shape with pocket aces against two opponents who each had pocket kings, needing only to avoid four hearts, four diamonds or a straight runout to triple up. He did just that when the board came 3?2?6?9?6?. Dicu dragged in a pot worth nearly three million in chips while both Zhechev and Sparagana made their exit from the tournament area in brutal fashion.
