Ladies and Gentlemen, We Have a New Chip Leader

[user196676]

Alberto Cerutti raised to 27,000 from the hijack only to find Francisco Neto three-bet to 60,000 on the button. The small blind folded his hand and Juan Garcia peered at his cards, waited a moment, a pushed out a four-bet to 120,000. Cerutti folded and Neto replied to Garcia by making a five-bet, this time making 220,000 the magic number.

Garcia announced a six bet all in and Neto went into the tank for over two minutes before announcing a call.

Garcia: {A-Diamonds} {A-Hearts}
Neto: {Q-Clubs} {Q-Diamonds}

Neto was far behind and was searching for a miracle card after the {J-Clubs} {7-Diamonds} {2-Diamonds} flop. Ask for a miracle and you shall received, replied the deck as the {Q-Hearts} dropped on the turn. A stunned Garcia stared at the board as he watched his tournament life crumble around him. The {2-Spades} came on the river and Neto was awarded the largest pot of the tournament. Not only is Neto the first player over a million, but he's closer to two million chips than one million. Garcia, however, was left absolutely devastated with only 46,000.
