The action folded around to Kevin Vandersmissen on the button who went all in for his remaining 70,000 chips. Anthony Ruberto in the small blind then re-raised all in for his massive stack to put Tuan Le all in as well.

Tuan hadn't looked yet and saw the {a-Diamonds} then the {k-Clubs} and just went, "Wooow... I'm not messing around here, this is tough." Le took his time but eventually made the call and two players were all in against Ruberto.

Vandersmissen: {k-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}
Le: {a-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}
Ruberto: {8-Spades}{8-Diamonds}

The flop came down {8-Clubs}{4-Spades}{10-Spades} giving Ruberto a set and a big lead in the hand. He exclaimed, "Well... that works!" The turn and river were {4-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} and both Vandersmissen and Le hit the rail. Ruberto is our second player over 1,000,000 chips with just around 1,200,000
