Matt Krier
Matt Krier

There was over 100,000 in the middle on a board of {a-Diamonds}{q-Spades}{3-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{j-Diamonds} with three way action. Doug Jones checked from the big blind and Ken Mann went all in for 30,000 in the hijack. Matt Krier called on the button and Jones folded.

Ken Mann: {a-Clubs}{5-Spades}
Matt Krier: {q-Hearts}{j-Hearts}

Krier's two pair was good to beat Mann's pair of aces and Krier scooped the pot and the knockout shortly before hand-for-hand play begins.

Rosa Piling Higher

Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Luis Rosa
Luis Rosa

A mountain of chips were all in from a three-bet pot that was check-raised on a flop of {4-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} before all the rest of the chips got in the middle on the turn {3-Spades} between Peter Schuldiner, who was at risk for his tournament life against Luis Rosa after coming into the day with just under 400,000 to start.

Peter Shuldiner: {7-Hearts}{7-Clubs}
Luis Rosa: {6-Spades}{5-Spades}

Shuldiner's flopped set ran into Rosa's turned straight and was in need of the board pairing to stay alive and win a massive pot. However, the river {q-Hearts} fell in Rosa's favor and he earned the knockout and the massive pot, bringing him well over 1 million early on Day 2.
