Jose Costa went from big stack to busto.

Clint Holes check-raised all in for almost 600,000 after a {2-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} flop. Jose Costa, who had fired 100,000, went into the tank. He asked for a payout sheet. After looking it over and thinking for another minute or so, he called off the majority of his stack.

Holes: {9-Spades}{9-Diamonds}
Costa: {7-}{7-}

Holes had a huge lead, and the last two cards were {6-Clubs} and {j-Diamonds}, leaving the former chip leader with only about 100,000. He busted out shortly thereafter in a hand we didn't see.
