Monster Pot Vaults Weiss Into the Chip Lead

Level 7 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

A huge hand just went down that saw three players get their stacks in the middle.

It began when action folded to Daniel Neilson on the button and he raised. Michael Weiss then three-bet from the small blind before Jesse Sylvia four-bet all in from the big for what looked to be over 40,000. Neilson, who had the biggest stack, then five-bet all in over the top, and Weiss called off for 87,300.

Weiss: {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}
Sylvia: {10-Hearts}{10-Spades}
Neilson: {q-Hearts}{q-Clubs}

All three players held big hands, but Neilson took a hammerlock on the hand when the {5-Spades}{2-Hearts}{q-Diamonds} flop delivered him top set. Amazingly, the {10-Clubs} turn kept both of his opponents drawing live, and it just so happened the {J-Spades} spiked on the river to give Weiss the improbable runner-runner Broadway straight!

Sylvia was eliminated in the hand while Neilson sent the vast majority of his chips to his direct left.
