Jakob Carlsson surged to a massive chip lead after getting involved in a monster pot with Alexey Rybin.
After a flop of Kc-Tc-Qh, the two players got into a raising war and soon found themselves all-in, creating a pot of just under 11 million in chips.
Carlsson and Rybin turned up:
Carlsson - Qc-Qs
Rybin - 9c-Jc
Carlsson had flopped middle set, while Rybin had flopped the King-high straight and a club flush draw.
The turn brought the 8c, improving Rybin's straight to a flush. Carlsson picked up a club flush draw as well though, as he held the Qc in his hand.
The river brought the Kd, pairing the board and giving Carlsson a full house and the massive 10.8 million chip pot. Thanks to this hand, Carlsson will enter the final table of the event as the dominant chip leader, while Rybin will be one of the short stacks.
The final table of the EPT San Remo Main Event will get under way 12:00 local time on Wednesday afternoon.
