It started rather innocent with an open-raise to 66,000 by "WRUUUUM" and Joris “BillLewinsky” Ruijs called from one seat over in the hijack. Wiktor "limitless" Malinowski" called on the button and chip leader Andras "probirs" Nemeth pulled the trigger. He applied maximum pressure and shipped it in from the small blind.
"WRUUUUM" called for 1.1 million, as did Ruijs for more than 1.3 million, while Malinowski folded.
"WRUUUUM":
Joris “BillLewinsky” Ruijs:
Andras "probirs" Nemeth:
The 
flop gave "WRUUUUM" and Nemeth a pair and the 
turn opened a straight draw for Nemeth, who instead made two pair on the river to score the massive pot and double knockout.
