Nelson Cracks A Million

Nelson Robinson is the first player to crack a seven-figure stack today, courtesy of the following hand. Robinson started the action with a raise to 32,000 from the hijack. Francisco Azeres made the call in the small blind and with the big blind out of the way, the dealer spread a {a-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{6-Hearts} flop across the felt.

Both players checked here and a {2-Spades} landed on the turn. This time Azeres lead for 39,000 and Robinson called. On the {4-Hearts} river, Azeres bet 63,000 and after some though, Robinson again called.

Robinson: {j-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}
Azeres: {8-Hearts}{8-Clubs}

Robinson's hand was strong enough to rake in the pot, while Azeres took a small hit to his stack.
