Our First Millionaire

Richard Alm and Carl Jerome both saw a raised flop that read {4-Hearts} {Q-Clubs} {4-Diamonds}.

Jerome was first to act and led out for a 110,000 bet that Alm called.

The turn came {8-Diamonds} and Jerome, bending his hat over his eyes, led out again for a 100,000 bet. Alm took longer this time but still made the call.

The river came {8-Spades} and both players checked it down.

Jerome flipped over {A-Diamonds} {7-Diamonds} for ace high.
Alm took the pot with {7-?} {7-?}.

Alm at 1,060,000.
Jerome on 160,000.
