Dzivielevski Wins Biggest Pot of the Tournament
Ren Lin moved all in from under the gun for about 350,000. Nozomu Shimizu reraised to 2,000,000 from the cutoff, committing about two thirds of his stack. Vitor Dzivielevski announced all in, covering both players. Shimizu made the call to put himself at risk and the three players went to the flop with nearly eight million chips in the middle.
Ren Lin: 3?3?
Nozomu Shimizu: 7?7?
Vitor Dzivielevski: Q?Q?
Dzivielevski had the best of it with the highest pocket pair. The flop came 4?3?4? to give Lin a flopped full house, but there was still a massive side pot to contend for between Shimizu and Dzivielevski, who had started the pot with approximately three million each.
"Seven!" Shimizu shouted as the rest of the board was dealt.
The turn came the K? and the river came the 8?. Lin secured a triple up while Dzivielvski scooped the rest to take the chip lead as well as the biggest pot of the tournament so far, sending Shimizu to the rail in the process.
