In the first of two disastrous hands for Samuel Aronov, he raised to 25,000, and John Chong called on the button.

Flop: {a-Spades} {k-Clubs} {2-Clubs} - Aronov bet 43,000, and Chong called instantly.

Turn: {2-Diamonds} - Aronov took another stab for 90,000. Another quick call from Chong.

River: {5-Diamonds} - Aronov gave up and checked, and Chong checked behind. All Aronov could show was pocked fours. Chong turned up {k-Spades} {10-Hearts} , and his flopped middle pair was enough for a giant pot.

The next hand, Aronov raised to 25,000, and Chong called once more. The flop came {k-Diamonds} {q-Diamonds} {2-Clubs} , and Aronov bet 35,000. Chong snapped of the c-bet by moving all in. Aronov folded miserably, looking at the 210,000 left in his stack. Chong is now the first player over the 1 million mark.
