A Million Doesn't Get You Much These Days

[user135779]

Level 27 : 40,000/80,000, 0 ante

No sooner that Matthew Elsby had reached the magical million-chip mark, he shipped a pot over to John Myung in dramatic fashion.

After a raised pot preflop, Elsby and Myung went heads-up to a flop that read {8-Clubs} {9-Clubs} {10-Clubs} . Elsby bet, Myung raised, Elsby reraised and Myung called before the dealer produced the turn of the {Q-Hearts} .

Elsby opened once again, Myung raised all-in and Elsby beat him into the pot, rolling up {10-Spades} {10-Diamonds} but Myung's {J-Spades} {J-Clubs} for the straight! The river {7-Diamonds} didn't change anything, except for the chip counts - Myung is now up to 640,000 while Elsby has slipped to 850,000.
