Wes Gauthier Crosses 2M
Level 23
: 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
We missed the hand, but Wes Gauthier called us over to tell us how he came to have 2,225,000 chips.
"I raised in late position with 
and both the blinds called," he told us. "The flop came 
and they checked to me. I c-bet, of course, and then the blind min-raised me. Well, we end up getting it all in and he has a set of threes."
Gauthier says his opponent had about 800,000 to start the hand. His opponent failed to fill up and Gauthier's wheel was good for the largest pot of the tournament so far.
