Jeremy Ensrud just shot up the leaderboard after taking down a massive pot against Edward Nemetchek,.
With more than 100,000 already in the middle on a board of A♣4♣A♦6♥Q♦, Ensrud moved all in from the big blind and Nemetchek called on the button. Ensrud showed A♥Q♠ for a rivered full house. "Didn't see that coming," Nemetchek said as he tossed ace-king into the muck.
The stacks were counted down and Ensrud had Nemetchek's remaining 120,000 covered, earning him the pot that pushed his stack close to 300,000.
