    Christopher K is the Super High Roller Champion!

    2018/04/24 - 21:57 by agarzon

    The heads-up battle between Christopher K. and Anthony Zinno had played through three full levels (halved to 20 mins each) and had remained more or less even in chips – and they were still reasonably deep – when they chose to forego a scheduled break and continue with level 25 immediately. It would only take a single hand in the level to wrap a bow around the tournament and crown a new Champion.

    The cards were dealt. Anthony was on the button and thus first to act, and he raised to 1.5M holding 7 of Hearts 7 of Spades. Christopher, in his turn, considered his options for a little longer than usual before grabbing a stack of orange chips, moving them forward, and declaring, “all in”!

    Anthony quickly made the call and the cards were exposed – Christopher had shoved his leading 43bb stack with Ace of Diamonds 5 of Diamonds!

    The flop was dealt: Jack of Spades 2 of Hearts Queen of Spades – not much there for the Christopher’s Ace-high.

    The turn: Queen of Clubs – which might not seem like much of a card, but doubled Chris’s outs.

    The river: Jack of Diamonds – a disaster for Anthony! His pair of 7s was counterfeited by the board and Chris’s Ace kicker took the hand… and the tournament!

    MILLIONS Super High Roller Champion: Christopher K., $373,000

    Christopher Kruk has won a big hand and re-taken the lead from Anthony Zinno by making a runner-runner straight and having his large river bet paid off. Chris was on the button and led out with a raise to 750K. Anthony made the call.

    The flop came out with what turned out to be two pairs for Anthony: Ace of Spades 5 of Hearts 7 of Diamonds. He check called Chris’s continuation bet of 375K and the dealer put out a 6 of Diamonds on the turn, giving Chris an up and down straight draw. The turn action went check check and the dealer put out the river: 3 of Clubs – Chris had made a very well-concealed straight!

    Anthony checked the river, and found himself facing a large overbet on the river from Chris. He thought for a little while, but ultimately made the call.

    Anthony: Ace of Clubs 7 of Spades
    Chris: Queen of Spades 4 of Hearts

    Christopher Kruk and Anthony Zinno have finished their dinner break, the table has been re-set for heads-up action, and play has begun with just over a minute in level 21. As per the rules of the tournament, level lengths are halved with 2 players remaining, so level 22 will be just 20 minutes long. As well, antes have been suspended for HU play, so there will be only a small and big blind added to the pot prior to player action.

    Christopher Kruk and Anthony Zinno are set to move into heads-up play, but the players agreed to take an extended dinner break earlier, and they will continue with that plan before resuming for the 1-on-1 finale to this tournament.

    Darren Elias eliminated

    Darren Elias has been eliminated in 3rd place in the $25K Super High Roller Event in the MILLIONS North America. Although 3rd place came with a $165K payout, Darren is certain to be at least a little bit disappointed as he spent much of the tournament at the top of the leaderboard.

    Darren opened the action from the button to 650K, but his raise was met with a 3b to 1.95M from Anthony Zinno in the sb. Kruk got out the way, and Darren raised all-in. Anthony snap called and the cards were revealed.

    Darren: 10 of Clubs10 of Hearts
    Anthony: Ace of Spades Queen of Hearts

    Darren was in the lead, but the 3 of Diamonds Queen of Spades 2 of Diamonds on the flop flipped the script, and the 9 of Hearts and 9 of Spades on the turn and river couldn’t change the outcome.

    3rd place: Darren Elias, $165,000

    Kornuth out 4th

    • Level: 20
    • Small Blind: 125K
    • Big Blind: 250K
    • Button Ante: 125K
    • Chip Average: 15.7M

    After a few minutes of back and forth action amongst the final 4 players, Chance Kornuth picked up a hand and jammed from utg for his last 3.95M. Kruk made the call and Chance was at risk.

    Chance: King of Hearts Queen of Diamonds
    Christopher: Ace of Diamonds 9 of Hearts

    The flop came 4 of Clubs 6 of Diamonds 10 of Spades – nothing for Chance – and the 2 of Hearts was no help. Even though Christopher didn’t need it, he hit the Ace of Spades on the river and Chance was out in 4th for $125,000.

    4th place: Chance Kornuth, $125,000
