Bank drags in a monster pot

Few hands we see truly get the blood pumping but Gabor Bank just dragged in a 425,000 pot worthy of the ParadisePoker Tour all-time highlight reel.

The Hungarian had sparked the action when he open shoved with 8♥8♣ and got action from two rivals, as Nikola Szarkezi and Robert Kokoska shipped their stacks in turn.

The Czech pair showed A♦K♦ and A♥A♠ but the drama was far from done there...

First the flop brought Bank top set 6♦8♠2♦, only for the turn to deliver the J♦ for Szarkezi to take the lead. A river 2♠ saw our Hungarian hero cry out with delight before stacking up his new found fortress.

Poor Kokoska exits in 20th as a result, while Szarkezi clings on after winning the side pot.
