Georgetown, Ontario's Dan Ayotte built a massive early stack busting one player by making a nut flush and nearly taking all the chips of another turning two pair and filling up on the river.

In fact, the stack was so big he could afford to double up Jeffery Hobrecker putting him all in on a {9-Clubs}{2-Spades}{a-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} board with about 7,000 chips already in the pot. Hobrecker made the call with {a-Spades}{7-Hearts} and doubled up after Ayotte sheepishly showed {k-Spades}{8-Clubs}.

"I knew I couldn't win the pot without a bet," he said, still holding what has to be considered the early lead.
