Shafikov Eclipses the 5-Million Mark
Level 28
: 30,000/60,000, 10,000 ante
From the cutoff it was start-of-the-day chip leader Peter Eichhardt who raised to 145,000 and Denys Shafikov three-bet from the button to 325,000.
Eichhardt gave it some thought, but eventually he made the call.
The flop brought out 
and Eichhardt check-called a bet of 300,000. On the turn the 
hit and this time Eichhardt check-folded to a bet of 580,000.
This pot now puts Shafikov over five million, and he's the first to reach this level.
