Lipp Chips Up to Over Two Million Before Break
Level 24
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Action was on the flop, which was 8♠6♣4♣. Play checked to Julien Nicolas, who made it 65,000 to go. Murad Akhundov called and Matthias Lipp raised to 260,000. Nicolas folded and Akhundov moved all in.
Lipp glanced across, twiddled his chips, glanced again, then went into the tank. The break started and Akhundov called time. The dealer counted down from 10 seconds and on the final second Lipp made the call.
Akhundov showed 7♦7♣ for pocket sevens with a straight draw. Lipp flipped over A♦A♣ for pocket aces.
The turn came 2♣ and the river was the A♠, giving Lipp trip aces. He scooped a huge pot just before the break, bringing his stack to over 2,000,000 chips.
