Kapalas Tops A Milion
The tournament may still be on the bubble but for those with decent stacks there is still room to play down the streets as this hand demonstrated.
Jerome Arnould opened on the button for 10,500 and big stack Georgios Kapalas three-bet from the big blind to 24,500. Arnould made the call in position and they went to a flop.
The dealer spread 
and a check from Kapalas saw Arnould check behind.
The turn card was the 
and now Kapalas led out for 21,500. Arnould made the call.
The river 
completed the board and Kapalas reached for chips and placed out a bet of 57,000. Arnould threw in a single chip to indicate a call.
“Kings.” Kapalas said and Arnould mucked with a nod of the head.
With that Kapalas was the first player in the tournament to top the 1,000,000 chip mark.
