Raja Kattamuri Breaks a Million

Raja Kattamuri opened for 16,000 from the cutoff, Phidias Georgio reraised to 50,500 from the big blind, Kattamuri three-bet to 150,000, Georgio moved all in and Kattamuri called all in for 492,000, creating a million-chip pot as the hole cards were turned over.

Georgio {K-Hearts} {K-Spades}

Kattamuri {A-Clubs} {A-Spades}

The board ran out {10-Diamonds} {9-Spades} {4-Hearts} {Q-Clubs} {9-Hearts} and Kattamuri raked in the pot, increasing his stack to 1,065,000. Georgio was left with only 110,000.

"Four days of play for this!" cried a clearly disappointed Georgio.

"Nice hand" he added a few moments later as he composed himself.

"Sorry if I scared you!" he said to his massage therapist, who tried to coax the cooler out of his shoulders.
