Rybin's Airball

We walked up to one of the middle tables to see a huge pot brewing. With about 160,000 chips already in the pot, the dealer was just putting the river card down on a board reading {4-Spades} {10-Spades} {A-Clubs} {9-Hearts} {5-Spades}.

Pedro Zagalo was the bettor, and he put out a smallish bet of 68,000. He was up against Day 1a chip leader Alexey Rybin, and Rybin moved all in over the top with a slightly covering stack. Zagalo had about 170,000 left in front of him, and he spent ages in the tank. It was at least seven or eight minutes before some of his table mates started to get a little restless. Clayton Mozdzen, in particular, was watching the clock tick tick away, and someone eventually called the clock. It ticked all the way down to five seconds before Zagalo slowly folded, sending the pot to Rybin.

Just for good measure, the Russian flipped up his airball {K-Spades} {J-Clubs} as he raked in that huge pot. Chip count forthcoming.
