Not long after that clash with Micah Raskin, Chris Klodnicki was back at it with a minimum raise to 8,000 from middle position. It folded to Pradeep Deshpande in the small blind who reraised all in for 57,900, and when the action got back to Klodnicki he called.

We just saw what potentially might have been a big hand between a couple of the big stacks, Chris Klodnicki (end of Day 1a leader) and Micah Raskin (end of Day 1b leader), although the pair ultimately avoided exchanging too many chips.
The hand began with Raskin opening for 10,000 from the hijack seat, then Klodnicki reraised to 25,000 from the button. It folded back around and Raskin held his cards for a moment as though he might pitch them, then began to dig out some chips. Finally he reraised again to just 40,000 total, and after some thought Klodnicki called.
The flop came 
, and Raskin led for 30,000. Klodnicki then raised to 80,000, and Raskin quickly called. The turn was the 
, pairing the board, and both players checked. They checked again following the 
river.
Raskin turned over 
, and Klodnicki slowly pushed his cards face down toward the dealer.
