Tkatschew Rivers a Boat to Scoop 1,600,000-Chip Pot
Level 16
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
A huge pot was brewing with around 500,000 chips in the middle between Jimmy Gorham and Alexander Tkatschew. The board read Q?10?K?7? and Tkatschew thought about it for a while before making a bet of 250,000, which Gorham called.
On the Q? river, Tkatschew again took his time before he announced a bet of 350,000. Before Tkatschew could even put the chips into the pot, Gorham had made the call.
Tkatschew tabled K?K? for a full house, and Gorham didn't seem happy.
"So sick," remarked Gorham as he tabled A?K? for the nut flush. Gorham started the day with over 1,200,000 in chips but now sits with under 400,000 after that huge pot in the opening level.
