Parry Eventually Grabs Chip Lead in Huge Pot
Matthew Parry and Kyle Merron had reached the turn in a pot that had already swollen to over one million chips. Parry checked to Merron from the big blind on the A?7?7?A? board and Merron added 900,000 more to the pot on the button. Parry then check-raised to 2,100,000 and this move sent Merron into a tank that would last for several minutes.
Eventually, he made the call and the 2? river subsequently arrived. Parry now went all in, covering the 2,075,000 chips Merron had left himself behind. Another long tank followed from Merron.
"If I had a full house, I obviously would have called by now," Merron explained.
Ultimately, though, he let it go, shipping the big pot to now-chipleader Parry, and play on the final two tables could finally continue.
