A massive pot once again fired up at Mike Ross' table, again involving the Chicago-based player who got fourth at Mid-States Poker Tour Ho-Chunk recently for more than $25,000. On a 
board, Ross, Jason Seefeld, and one other player got all in, with Ross easily covering both. The third player turned up

for better trips.

completed the board, and he eliminated the third player, who had slightly less chips, while Ross sent about 15,000 his way.
