Entries: 5/2045
Charles Eichner raised to 800k from the button, and Nikolaos Konstas, sitting on the small blind, made the call. They saw a flop of 7♠9♣2♦, where Konstas checked, and Eichner bet 1.1 million. After a quick call, the turn 7♦ brought no action as both players checked.
The river 10♦ saw Konstas lead out with a huge 4 million chip bet, and Eichner quickly called. Konstas turned over 2♠2♥ for a flopped set of twos, and Eichner promptly mucked his hand.
With this hand, Konstas shifts into the chip lead, solidifying his position as the top stack on the final table.
Charles Eichner – 26,000,000
Nikolaos Konstas – 32,500,000
