Action folded to chip leader Florin-Vasile Sturzu, who opened to 160,000 from the Cut-off. PartyPoker Team Pro Jaime Staples then made it 400,000 on the Button. Back to Sturzu, who four-bet to 1,000,000. Staples called, and a small crowd gathered around the table.
Sturzu bet 1,200,000 on the 5♥2♠6♠ flop, and Jaime moved all in for roughly 1,500,000. Being priced in, Sturzu made the call.
Jaime Staples: A♥A♦
Florin-Vasile Sturzu: J♠J♣
Staples was well ahead, and as the board completed with 4♠7♥, he won the ridiculously large pot. He became the new chip leader, while Sturzu lost the majority of his stack.
Jaime Staples: 5,275,000
Florin-Vasile Sturzu: 1,000,000
