On blinds of 10,000/20,000, the flop showed {q-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{4-Clubs} and action checked to "Shipitagain" again who bet 60,000. "Fee23" check-raised to 182,000 and "Shipitagain" then raised to 500,000.

"Fee32" called and the {4-Hearts} landed on the turn. "Fee32" bet 210,000 and "Shipitagain" pushed 816,000. "Fee32" called for less, tabling {k-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds} for top pair and "Shipitagain" then tabled {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs} for some draws.

The {7-Spades} river landed on the board, cementing the pot for "Fee32" who is the first person to eclipse the two million mark and "Shipitagain" was left with crumbs.
