Wow!

After tangling all day long, Joao Simao and Oleksii Khoroshenin played the biggest pot so far that launched Simao to a monster chip lead and forced start-of-the-day Khoroshenin to the rail before the late registration period even ended!

The pot had already grown to massive proportions on a {K-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}{J-Spades}{5-Spades}{10-Diamonds} board. Khoroshenin bet 45,000 and Simao responded by shoving all in. It was around 80,000 more for the Russian to call, who put his remaining stack in after using a time bank chip.

Oleksii Khoroshenin: {A-Hearts}{K-Clubs}
Joao Simao: {5-Spades}{5-Diamonds}

Khoroshenin's trip kings bit the dust against Simao's full house and the Russian was out.
