It seems that Martin Jacobson raised from the button and was called by Sebastian Saffari in the small blind, only for Ivo Donev to shove from the big blind. Jacobson re-shoved and Saffari passed, muttering, "I shouldn't have called..."

Donev: {9-Hearts}

Jacobson:

Board: an "oooh!"-tastic {9-Clubs}

Donev got out his camera to capture his quads for posterity, as the pot was pushed towards him.

Hrisca New Chip Leader

Ciprian Hrisca leaps up to 840,000 and the chip lead.

With a lot of chips in the pot by the river of a {2-Diamonds}

board, Hrisca bet 100,000. An irked Johnny Lodden took a long time over his decision, saying, "It was a really good flop..." and eventually called. Lodden's {J-Diamonds}

was no good as Hrisca turned over {A-?}
