Lo Russo Scoops the Biggest Pot of the Tournament for a Monster Lead
Paul Dalrymple raised to 1,000,000 from early position and Nicky Evans three-bet to 2,700,000. Maurizio Lo Russo was in the cutoff and called, as did Dalrymple.
The flop came 
and Dalrymple checked. Evans bet 5,500,000 and Lo Russo decided to shove for 17,275,000. Dalrymple had 15,925,000 and quickly called for less. Action was on Evans now and it was costing him about 12 million in chips to play. He decided it was worth the gamble and called.
Paul Dalrymple: 
Maurizio Lo Russo: 
Nicky Evans: 
Dalrymple flopped a vulnerable straight, with Lo Russo flopped the nut flush draw against Evans' inferior flush draw.
The turn was the 
to leave Dalrymple drawing dead, but Evans still had a straight-flush draw. Unfortunately for him, the river was the 
and Dalrymple was eliminated while Lo Russo almost fully tripled up.
Evans was left with 3,000,000 and busted in an inconsequential hand to bust.
