Markin Wins Big Pot
Level 19
: 30,000/60,000, 10,000 ante
Stephen Chidwick opened to 125,000 from under the gun. The action folded to Leonid Markin on the small blind who raised it up to 275,000 in chips. Vladimir Troyanovskiy was on the big blind and thought about his decision for over a minute before making the call. Chidwick also completed as the three then watched the flop come down 
.
Markin paused for a moment before leading out for 275,000 and was called shortly after by Troyanovskiy. Chidwick quickly mucked before the dealer produced the 
on the turn.
Markin then reached for his chips and bet out 600,000 which was enough to cover his opponent. Troyanovskiy stared down Markin for several minutes before reluctantly letting go of his hand.
