We should probably introduce you to Mr. Alessio Lamia, as he's the early and massive chip leader. We joined the pot a bit too late to tell exactly what resulted in the three-way all in, but we can venture a guess from the hands that were shown down. Here's what we gathered:

Lamia had been holding {J-Hearts}

{J-Hearts}

{J-Clubs}

, and he was up against two opponents -- Mike Sowers' {9-Clubs}

{9-Clubs}

{9-Diamonds}

and an unknown player's {K-Diamonds}

{K-Diamonds}

{Q-Diamonds}

. The flop of {J-Diamonds}

{J-Diamonds}

{5-Diamonds}

{9-Spades}

must have driven the heavy betting action, and Lamia's set somehow managed to hold up when the turn and river blanked off {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

and

{4-Clubs}

respectively.

That huge pot pushes Alessio well over 80,000 and into a big early lead, sending Sowers home all too quickly.
