It appears like Italy's Daniele Grassi, who just began his position of Head of Play at the poker training site Pokercode might end Day 1c on a high note after winning a massive pot with ace-high as follows.
Juho Heiska three-bet over an opener for 5,800. Grassi flat-called from the small blind and the original opener got out of the way.
Grassi checked the 
flop before Heiska jammed for 50,000. Grassi made the call and players turned over their cards.
Juho Heiska: 
Daniele Grassi: 
The 
turn and 
river blanked both players and Grassi won the hand with ace-high.
