Parry Eventually Grabs Chip Lead in Huge Pot
Matthew Parry and Kyle Merron had reached the turn in a pot that had already swollen to over one million chips. Parry checked to Merron from the big blind on the A♦7♥7♦A♣ board and Merron added 900,000 more to the pot on the button. Parry then check-raised to 2,100,000 and this move sent Merron into a tank that would last for several minutes.
Eventually, he made the call and the 2♦ river subsequently arrived. Parry now went all in, covering the 2,075,000 chips Merron had left himself behind. Another long tank followed from Merron.
"If I had a full house, I obviously would have called by now," Merron explained.
Ultimately, though, he let it go, shipping the big pot to now-chipleader Parry, and play on the final two tables could finally continue.
