Canyon Williams opened to 20,000 in the hijack, and Maxx Dansky three-bet from the cutoff to 60,000. Action folded back around to Williams, who move all in for 214,000.
Dansky took some time before announcing a call, and the hands were turned up.

Craig Welko was collecting a massive pot on table 3, and action was recounted as the next hand was in progress.
Welko called in the small blind after an open from Robert Barca to see the 7x6x2x flop. Welko then check-raised a bet of 40,000 from Barca, making it 110,000 to go.
Barca called, and Welko fired 80,000 on the 7x turn. Barca moved all in, and Welko quickly called off his remaining stack. Welko tabled 7x7x for quads, and Barca's QxQx were no good.

Nicholas Sanguiliano: 8♣8♠
Keith Jones: A♦Q♥
