Jim McKeon moved all in for a little more than 100,000 and it was folded to Bill Kontaratos who has been near the top of the leader board for most of the day.

and McKeon clapped his hands in excitement and pumped his fist. He doubles up to 210,000 while Kontaratos is down to 55,000 after the hand.

Earlier in the day the spectacularly named Diane Casino played a pot worth writing home about. Literally.
Casino stopped by the PokerNews Live Reporting desk to fill us in on the details, showing us the long text message she sent to her husband after the win.
Apparently, Casino held a in the hole when the flop came down . Her opponent led out for a 2,000 wager and Casino did a bit of the old Hollywood, staring her man down and acting unsure for a bit before flatting to see the turn. And what a turn it was, bringing the case queen to the board to give her quads.
After another lead out from her opponent - this time for 4,000 - Casino did work which would make DeNiro proud, hemming and hawing over her apparently tough decision before finally flatting once more.
When a floated down the river, her opponent seized on Casino's signs of hesitancy, shipping his whole stack forward for an ill-fated all-in bet. Casino snapped it off with her monster and was shocked to see the man flip up the lowly 
for an audacious bluff with pure air.

Dean DellaDonne just celebrated loud and long after a recent double up, so we headed over to take a look.
His was laid out in front of his stack with the final board showing 
. Wazir Baksh was the recipient of the beat, as he had flopped two pair with , only to find himself counterfeited by DellaDonne's pocket rockets.
The pot contained more than 30,000 when the all-in wager was made, and DellaDonne risked his last 37,400.
Baksh still holds one of the largest stacks in the room, with this win he would have held more than five times the average. DellaDonne, meanwhile, surged up the leaderboard by eclipsing the 100,000-chip plateau.

Frank Ingardia just went busto at the hands of Dennis Dekenipp, and he was kind enough to fill us in with a postmortem.
According to Ingardia, he flopped a gutterball with the on the 
board, and he chased the straight until the river. Unfortunately for him, Dekenipp held and thus Ingardia's outs to the straight were cut in half.
For good measure, the river card came 
to give Dekenipp an unneeded straight, and with that Ingardia headed to the exits.

Dennis Dekenipp just claimed the chip lead after extracting value on the river.
The final board read 
when we strolled by, and Dekenipp had a bet of 16,000 pushed forward. The pot was already massive, containing dozens of the yellow T1000 chips and a motley assortment of other denominations.
Dekenipp's opponent did not appear to like doing so, but he called the river bet nonetheless, wincing noticeably when Dekenipp revealed his 
for a rivered straight. The other player said "I knew it" aloud to himself, before showing the 
for two pair on the flop.
