Biggest Pot Of The Tournament So Far

Preflop, Con Tsapkounis raised to 250,000 on the button and Carl Booth three-bet it to 750,000 from the big blind. Tsapkounis made the call and they took a {7-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{3-Hearts} flop.

With 1,500,000 chips in the pot preflop it was going to be a war post-flop. Booth moved all in and Tsapkounis made an instant call for his stack.

Tsapkounis: {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}
Booth: {4-Diamonds}{4-Spades}

The {j-Diamonds} turn and {7-Hearts} river were not the cards Booth was looking for, so he ships the majority of his stack to Tsapkounis.

Booth has 1,200,000 left, Tsapkounis is now the chip leader again with 5,200,000.
