Level 36 : 250,000/500,000, 50,000 ante

Andras Koroknai was on the button. Russell Thomas raised from the small blind to 1.25 million, and Jake Balsiger called from the big blind.

The flop came down {Q-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}, and Thomas bet 1.25 million. Balsiger made the call.

The turn was the {A-Diamonds}, and Thomas fired 2.75 million. Balsiger made the call.

The river was the {Q-Spades}, and Thomas checked. Balsiger checked behind and tabled the {A-Spades}{4-Hearts} to win the pot. Thomas mucked.
