The aftermath of a hand was being divvied up as the board read 3♦Q♦8♥7♦9♠. The player raking in the huge pot had A♦9♦ showing as the winning hand while one of the losing players had A♥A♠. Gony Kamal was forced to walk away as well with his hand beaten and turned over into the muck already.
The big stack player preferred not to give his name for the time being but will be a player to watch as the rest of the night unfolds as he sits with about 355,000.

A hand was retold in a huge pot that has likely created the new chip leader.
Details of the hand were muddled but, Shawn Brown had the 9♣7♣ and called against three all ins. The river was a club to give him a flush and give him the gargantuan pot.

Jorge "JJ" Avala moved all in for 53,000 to turn the screws to his opponent who folded after about a minute of thinking it over.
Avala flashed the KxQx as his opponent showed the AxKx to show that Avala had forced the better hand to hit the muck.
