Battle of the Big Stacks
After a brief betting war preflop, a bet of 425,000 was made by Josh Wang and called by Thomas Carroll.
The flop came out 
and Carrol checked to Wang who made it 360,000 to go. Carroll thought about it for a few seconds before making the call to see the 
on the turn.
Carroll then checked to Wang who decided to check back and the two say the river fall the 
.
Carroll then bet the minimum possible, 30,000 and sent the action over to Wang.
"30,000?" Wang questioned him, slightly puzzled, but then he announced a raise of 700,000 and put the pressure back on Carroll.
"You've got to have ace-king here, why did you check the turn?" Carroll began thinking out loud for a couple seconds before finally mustering the courage and made the call.
Wang then flipped over 
for top two-pair, aces and eights, which was enough to beat Carroll as he just shook his head and mucked his cards.
"I shove turn, you fold," Wang answered his question from earlier, to which Carroll nodded in agreement as Wang was pushed the massive pot to make him the clear chip leader.
