Event 7: First to Cash, First to One Million

$350 + $50 Deep Stack NLH (Re-Entry)

Alwan's Poker Face

On the bubble, Harry Korotki (Owings Mills, MD) and Khalded Alwan (Wayne, NJ) are in a big hand.

Blinds 5k/10k/1k ante

Korotki (370k)
Alwan (700k)

From middle position, Korotki raises to 24k and Alwan calls from the BB.

Flop: Q 8 2

Korotki bets 30k
Alwan calls

Turn: Q

Korotki bets 50k
Alwan calls

River: 9

There's an all in and call for Korotki's last 265k.

Alwan: 9 9 (full house)
Korotki: A Q (trip queens)

Korotki is surprised his trips are a loser and says, "I can't believe you kept calling my bets."

"I didn't believe you had a queen," replies a sheepish Alwan, who is now the first player to reach 1 million chips.

For Kortoki, he's the first to cash as he earns $731 for his 72nd place finish.

Alwan, Million Chip Man
