Big Setup All But Decides It
Level 27
: 500,000/1,000,000, 1,000,000 ante
Sam Trickett won two small hands to draw the stacks nearly equal, before the players both picked up monsters to get 98% of all the chips in play in the middle.
Kahle Burns limped in and Sam Trickett bumped it to 5,000,000. Burns limp-raised to 12,500,000, Trickett shoved all in for 42,000,000 after some thought and Burns snap-called all in for 40,000,000.
Kahle Burns: 
Sam Trickett: 
The 
flop kept the Australian in the lead, and neither the 
turn nor 
river brought the ace Trickett needed. The Brit was left with just two big blinds.
