A Milli

Nolan Dalla just announced that Benjamin Alcober is our first player to surpass the million-chip mark. Alcober and an opponent were heads up on a board of {5-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{a-Spades}{q-Spades}, and Alcober fired 14,700. His opponent called.

The {j-Diamonds} completed the board, and Alcober's opponent checked. Alcober tossed out 28,000, and his opponent called.

"Two pair," Alcober announced, tabling {q-Hearts}{9-Spades}.

His opponent mucked, and Alcober is our million-chip man.
