Pelton Building Skyscrapers
Level 16
: 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
There was around 150,000 in the pot on a board reading 
with heads-up action between Chan Pelton in the big blind and Brandon Waalen, who was under the gun. Chan had a bet of 80,000 in front of him and Waalen was deep in consideration as the other six tables awaited the hand to end. He eventually settled on a call.
"Straight," said Pelton, tabling 
for a backdoor six-high straight. Waalen sent his cards to the muck and the pot was shipped to Chan, who has numerous piles of chips stacked in a manner that is beginning to look like a city skyline and looking like around 900,000.
