Three players were all in for about a 1.4 million chip pot on a {k-Hearts}{q-Hearts}{10-Hearts} flop, including Eric Baldwin on the button and Max Corcoran in the big blind.

Early position player: {k-Hearts}{j-Spades}
Baldwin: {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}
Corcoran: {k-Spades}{q-Spades}

Max Corcoran had the best of it with two pair, but the {10-Clubs} turn gave Baldwin a superior two pair to take the lead.

The {2-Spades} river bricked out and Baldwin scooped the enormous pot, leaving Corcoran with just 60,000.

Moorman Four-Bet Shoves

Level 21 : 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Chris Moorman opened to 33,000 from early position and action folded around to the player on the button, who put 50,000 into the middle, which constituted a legal raise. Action folded back to Moorman, who pondered a bit before announcing he was all in for about 480,000 total.

"I have pocket sevens," Moorman's opponent said. "I didn't see your hand."

He then revealed the {7-Hearts} and folded his hand.
