Coelho Rockets Into the Chip Lead; Sagle Folds Big Slick Preflop
Charles Russell limped in under the gun before Diogo Coelho raised to 2,800,000 in the cutoff. Jason Sagle then three-bet to 7,300,000 on the button.
Russell came back with a four-bet to 16,000,000 and Coelho moved all in for 26,200,000. Sagle got out of the way, snap-folding A♦K♠ before Russell called to create a more than 60,000,000 chip pot.
Diogo Coelho: A♠A♥ 
Charles Russell: J♥J♦
Russell had run right into Coelho's aces with most of his stack in the middle. The A♣10♣2♣ flop was a disaster for the Scotsman as Coelho made top set. The turn was the 10♠ and Coelho improved to a full house to leave Russell drawing dead heading to the 9♥ river.
Coelho doubled up in a massive pot, vaulting himself into the chip lead while leaving Russell on an extremely short stack.
