Sharaskin Scoops Huge One

Level 11 : 600/1,200, 0 ante

We just came upon what is likely the biggest pot thus far in the tourney -- worth about 180,000 or more -- between Igor Sharaskin and Dau Ly.

All of the chips went in on the {9-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{6-Clubs} flop, with Sharaskin holding {A-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{3-Hearts} and Ly {10-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{5-Clubs}{3-Clubs}. The turn was the {K-Hearts} and the river the {9-Hearts}, giving Sharaskin the flush and a scoop of the enormous pot.

"Ahhh," exhaled Ly afterwards. "All that work... one hand...."

Both Sharaskin and Ly started the day among the top ten in chips, and with that one Sharaskin moves out into the lead with more than 180,000. Ly, meanwhile, quickly tumbled down to less than 10,000 on that one, and busted from the tourney shortly thereafter.
