The Biggest Pot of the Tournament on the Second-to-Last Hand of the Night!
Dwyte Pilgrim started the action by opening to 35,000 from middle position. Vincent Jacques three-bet to 82,000 and then Calvin Kordus four-bet to 175,000.
Pilgrim quickly folded and the action was back on Jacques who tanked momentarily. He asked the dealer to pull in the raise and assessed the situation a little longer.
"All in," he muttered.
Kordus stood up in his seat and turn his hat backwards. He was genuinely baffled, counting his chips and then recounting them. Finally after close to five minutes of deliberation he said four very dangerous words in poker:
"F*** it, I call."
The hands were tabled and looked like this:
Jacques:
Kordus:
With over 1.7 million chips in the middle, the dealer wrapped the table before flopping . Jacques' freeroll was over and the turn and river fell the and the respectively.
The two split the monster pot and shared a sigh of relief.
