It was a cooler for Milrad but the drama wasn’t done there. The dealer put a king in the window but followed it with an ace on the flop. There were exclamations all around and set-over-set aces over kings sent the pot to Zur. They counted down his stack and his 1,915,000 pulled a full double.

Milrad was down to scraps and lost the next hand for the tough exit.
