With the board reading 2♣2♥7♣3♣4♥ and about 1,300,000 in the middle, Antonio Silva had bet 525,000 putting Kevin Clement deep into the tank.
After a couple minutes a player called the clock. Very shortly afterwards Clement stuck in the call.
Silva tabled A♣9♥ for a stone cold bluff with a blocker to the ace-high flush while Clement, who got out of his seat with excitement upon seeing he had the winning hand, tabled Q♥Q♦ for an overpair to take down a colossal pot.

Andrew Hinrichsen raised to 80,000 from the button and Mykyta Andrusiak three-bet to 295,000 before the big blind got out of the way. Hinrichsen called and the flop was 4♠Q♥Q♣. Andrusiak continued for another 180,000 but that was too much and he took the pot on the flop.
On another table, action was heads up with over 800,000 in the pot and the board showed 5♣A♣2♦8♣. Antonio Silva fired 650,000 and Kevin Clement called. The river was K♠ and Silva bet another 600,000 to a quick call from Clement. Clement showed A♥K♣ for aces and kings, which was good enough to beat Silva's A♦Q♣.
