As the cards were being dealt for the following hand, Eric Levesque piped up:

"I have a feeling about this one. Something big is going to happen."

He was right.

Action folded around the table to Carlos Giron in the small blind who open-shoved all in.

"That's a good move," said Levesque as he looked down at his cards.

A second later his chips were in the middle. "I call."

Levesque: {K-Spades}

Giron:

The board then filled out {6-Spades}

{4c]

in favor of Giron, despite several requests for a queen from Levesque.

After the hand, Giron stacked up 495,000 in chips while Levesque fell back down to 950,000.
