Big Stacks Get Bigger

Andreas Zauner came to this final table as a huge chip leader, and he's just now extended his lead even further.

Perhaps 100,000 had found its way into the pot before the 3s Th 2c flop, when Zauner bet out 50,000 from the big blind position. On the button, Jörg Kleindienst raised to 120,000, and after a moment Zauner called.

Both players checked the 3d turn, and Zauner sneakily checked the 9h river. I say sneakily because once Kleindienst had checked behind, Zauner revealed pocket nines for a full house. Kleindienst's pocket sixes were no good, and he's reduced to 275,000. Zauner meanwhile is stacking his chips in a massive pyramid so it's hard to say exactly, but I reckon it's somewhere in the region of 1.5 million now.
