Wester Takes Chunk from Orellana
Axel Orellana raised to 2,300,000 in early position, and then things quickly escalated.
Robert Szumowski flatted Orellana’s raise, and action went to Jason Wester, who three-bet to 6,000,000.
The rest of the players folded, putting the next move on Orellana.
Orellana looked across the table and eyed Wester’s chip stack, even asking Wester how much he had. Wester moved his arms aside and estimated a little more than 22,000,000.
Orellana then four-bet all in, a move that got Szumowski to immediately fold.
Wester went deep in the tank, peeking at his cards multiple times and staring across the table at Orellana, who barely moved except to breath.
After more than a minute elapsed, Wester made the call to put himself at risk.
Jason Wester: Q?Q? 
Axel Orellana: K?K?
Wester was behind and needed help, which he immediately received when the dealer fanned Q?8?9? on the flop to give Wester top set.
The 10? on the turn kept Wester in the lead and A? gave him the win and a massive double up.
