With only 20 players still in contention and the blinds at 250,000/500,000, Nicolas Miron open shoved his stack of close to 5,000,000 chips. Christopher Turnbull was next to act and he re-shoved over top. The action then folded to Kevin Javier, who had the biggest stack in play. Javier spent a considerable amount of time in the tank trying to decide how to proceed until he finally moved a stack forward and announced that he was also all in. The blinds folded and the hands were tabled.
Miron:
Turnbull:
Javier:
Javier had the best hand but Turnbull had the over cards. The flop came and Javier stayed out in front. On the turn, nothing changed, however when the hit the river, Turnbull stood up in excitement, celebrating his huge triple-up. Turnbull had 9,000,000 chips and is now sitting on one of the top stacks in play.
Miron played a great game but unfortunately was eliminated in 19th place, collecting $2,100 for his two days of poker action.
On the next table over, we noticed that Abram Logasy has now lost a large portion of his stack and is no longer in the lead.
