Racing for Two Million

Level 27 : 30,000/60,000, 5,000 ante

Nick "Panini" Curanovic raised to 155,000 in the cutoff, Steve Raimie moved all in for 1.075 million on the button, and the two players in the blinds folded. Curanovic tanked for less than a minute, then called, creating a 2 million-chip race.

Curanovic: {a-Spades}{q-Hearts}
Raimie: {j-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}

There was an ace on the {a-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{9-Clubs} flop, pushing Curanovic into the lead, and he remained in pole position after the turn ({3-Clubs}). The dealer rapped the table one last time before revealing the final card, and the players at the table erupted when the {j-Clubs} spiked on the river.

"Story of my life," Curanovic chuckled, grinning from ear to ear.

Raimie doubled to 2.26 million chips, while Curanovic shrunk to 560,000.
