Level 23 : Blinds 7,000/14,000, 14,000 ante

PokerNews caught up with the action as the dealer swept the cards into the muck. Davidi Kitai was all in on the river against Martin Gavrilov. Kitai held A♠9♠ for an ace-high flush, which seemingly earned him, possibly, the biggest pot of the tournament so far.

Kitai has now surpassed the two million chip mark, leaving Gavrilov short in the process.
