Double Through For Layani
![[user46298]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
The first emergent stack here, and almost instantly in six figures, is that of Jonathan Layani. A pot of around 15k had developed until it all went crazy on the river, which is when the first 25,000 chip plaque went into the middle and caught my attention.
The board was standing 
and Seat One (who refused to give his name and is not in the original assigned seat) bet out, c.10k (it was hard to tell bet sizing here because both players simply announced figures while sliding these huge blue plastic rectangles into the middle). Layani raised and Seat One came over the top all in. A dwell began which finally ended in a call, and Layani showed 
for the rivered middling full house, while Seat One showed 
! The board and hands were quickly swept away and I wondered if my eyes had deceived me, although none of those cards looked like a five to me, there's always a chance.
