Big Stacks Collide as Wiciak Spikes the River

Carl Shaw raised to 400,000 in the cutoff with 9♦9♣ and Simon Wiciak, in the small blind, used some of the new grey 500,000 chips to three-bet K♣J♦ to 1,600,000.

Shaw called and they went heads-up to the 5♦8♣8♥ flop. Wiciak continued for 800,000 and Shaw put in a raise to 2,100,000. Wiciak then reraised to 3,500,000 and Shaw called.

Both players checked the Q♥ turn before Wiciak spiked a pair on the J♣ river. He checked again, and Shaw quickly tapped the felt as Wiciak took the more than 10,000,000 chip pot with that fortunate river.
