Tayfeh Takes Down A Big Pot

We didn't catch the action, but we saw that Mohsen Tayfeh eliminated a player in a big pot that propelled him to the top of the leaderboard. The board ran down {7-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{a-Clubs}, and Tayfeh had {a-Spades}{k-Hearts} in front of him for a pair of aces. His opponent held {k-Clubs}{q-Clubs} for a pair of queens, which wasn't good enough.

After Tayfeh stacked up his mountain of chips, we saw that he was up to 160,000.
