Martin Rowe was the beneficiary of a 1.5-million chip pot thanks to a river card that trapped Antonio Fazzolari. Fazzolari was the preflop aggressor, opening for 70,000 from the small blind. Rowe called out of the big blind.

Fazzolari check-called the whole way on a board of {K-Spades}

{K-Spades}

{2-Diamonds}

{5-Hearts}

{A-Diamonds}

{7-Clubs}

, contributing 100,000, then 250,000, then 300,000 chips on successive streets. At showdown, Rowe showed {5-Clubs}

{5-Clubs}

{5-Diamonds}

for a flopped set of fives. Fazzolari disgustedly slammed down {K-Hearts}

{K-Hearts}

{7-Spades}

, showing that he had flopped top pair and rivered his second pair.

Rowe is now up to 3.3 million. Fazzolari is back with the rest of the pack, sitting behind 1.65 million.
