Kovalchuk Gets Even Bigger

Ionel Anton raised to 100,000 on the button and Oleksii Kovalchuk called.

The flop came {9-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{9-Hearts}, Kovalchuk checked, Anton bet 150,000 and Kovalchuk called.

The turn was the {10-Hearts}, Kovalchuk checked, Anton bet 150,000 again but this time Kovalchuk check-raised to 500,000. Anton called.

The river came {q-Spades} and Kovalchuk bet 1,000,000. Anton folded and is now very short stacked with about 1,600,000 after the hand to Kovalchuk's 8,700,000
