Sellam Takes Massive Pot
Level 21
: Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
In a heads-up pot with just over 500,000 in the middle and a flop showing 9♠8♥6♥, Rubens Sellam checked from the big blind over to Vasken Demlakian on the button, who bet out 165,000. Sellam made the call and the pair saw the 5♥ turn.
Sellam took a moment before leading out for 500,000 and Demlakian went deep in the tank. After thinking for close to a minute, Demlakian reluctantly let his hand go and the massive pot was shipped to Sellam, who now inches closer to two million chips.
