Kaukua Passes One Million

Ryan Lashmar

Level 19 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

With two players seeing a board of 5♦Q♠Q♣A♦10♣ and roughly 180,000 in the middle, Kamel Marzouk had bet 100,000 from the big blind only for Toni Kaukua to move all in from middle position, covering Marzouk who had about 300,000 behind. Marzouk went deep into the tank.

After nearly 5 minutes Kaukua called the clock. 30 seconds went by without Marzouk making a decision and his hand was declared dead allowing Kaukua to rake in a gargantuan pot without showdown.

Marzouk flashed the Q♦ from his hand for trip queens before sending his hand into the muck.

Toni Kaukua	1,225,000 295,000	295,000
Kamel Marzouk	290,000 -347,000	-347,000
