Blinds: 200,000/400,000
Derek Gregory raised to 800,000 from early position, and Oganez Mkrtychyan three bet to 2,200,000. Gregory thought for about 90 seconds before sliding in the call, and the flop came down [Jd][10h][4h]. Mkrtychyan didn’t take much time to shove all in, and Gregory took even less time to call. Unfortunately for Gregory, he saw that his [Qc][Qh] was coolered by the [Ah][Ac] of Mkrtychyan. ‘
The board finished out [7d] and [5c], and Mkrtychyan secured a massive double up to 19 million, making him second in chips behind Dylan Nguyen. Meanwhile Gregory, who has been a big stack since the beginning of Day 2, is suddenly one of the shortest stacks at the table now.
