Bruns Picks Up Aces to Bust Petrov and Break 10 Million
Level 29
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Maksim Petrov opened to 1,000,000 in middle position, leaving about 600,000 behind. Bjorn Bruns jammed in the cutoff, and after taking some time to make a decision with a pay jump near, Petrov called for his remaining chips.
Maksim Petrov: 
Bjorn Bruns: 
"That's a good hand," noted a player at the table as Bruns picked up the best starting hand in the game to leave Petrov in rough shape.
The board ran out 
to leave Petrov drawing dead on the turn, and Bruns picked up the pot to move up to the 10 million mark and become one of the top stacks in the room.
