Chip Leaders Collide and One Explodes!
It was only a matter of time until Troy Quenneville and Alexis Urli got involved in a big pot together. However, nobody saw this explosion coming.
Quenneville raised from the hijack and Urli three-bet from the big blind, which the table says he's been doing a lot of. Quenneville called and the two Canadians saw a flop of 
. Urli led out for 875,000 and Quenneville called to see the 
on the turn.
Urli fired another 1.575 million and Quenneville still called. The 
completed the board and proved to be the action card. Urli checked this time and Quenneville tanked for a couple of minutes before putting together a bet of 5.335 million. Urli sat still in his chair for about a minute and then announced all in for 11.6 million.
"Wow!" Quenneville voiced his displeasure as he sat upright in his chair. Urli put his down, covered by his arms, as to not give any sort of tell away. Quenneville asked for a count and found out that Urli barely had him covered. A crowd gathered around the table and witnessed Quenvilled utter the word "call".
Urli turned over 
while Quenneville tabled 
for a flush. "Yes!" Quenneville screamed with a fist pump to follow. Quenneville vaulted back into the overwhelming chip lead while Urli was left with just one big blind.
