Big Stax 500 (Day 3): Sour-Kraut...For A Moment

Level 25 - Blinds 20,000/40,000/5,000 (Chip Average: 2,000,000)
Players Remaining: 11

Russell Youngken opened under the gun and was called by Sharma (Button), Kraut (Smalll Blind), and Belasic (Big Blind).  The flop came out 4 6 8 and the action checked around to Sharma who bet out 250,000.  Kraut would check raise all-in for about 1,000,000 more, and after both other players folded, Sharma made the call:

Kraut: J J           Sharma: 5 6

Flop: 4 6 8

Turn: 5 

River: 4

It must of been a sick feeling for Alan to see Sharma spike two pair on the turn, but what a river for Kraut.  The board paired fours, counterfeiting Sharma's two pair, and doubling Alan up to over 2,500,000.

Sharma drops below 800,000.
