Massive Double Up for Alsante
Level 33
: Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante
Matthew Alsante opened to 1,200,000 from the button, then Philip Wiszowaty in the small blind counted his stack before announcing "all-in". Oleg Vasylchenko in the big blind folded to Alsante, who didn't seem very happy to call, but he did so.
Matthew Alsante: A♥K♠ 
Philip Wiszowaty: 10♥10♠
In this 37,800,000 chip pot, almost 75% of the chips in play, Alsante found a straight draw with the Q♣J♠4♥ flop. The 8♦ didn't change anything, but the 10♦ river completed Alsante's straight. He is now the massive chipleader of the tournament.
