Guy Laliberte and Kirk Morrison get hooked up in a Big Pot. After a min-raise pre-flop, the flop comes {7-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}. Kirk bets 30K and is raised by Guy to 250K; Kirk calls.

Turn is {J-Hearts} 400K from Guy and a raise of 500K from Kirk after a long pause; then comes a short pause for Guy to move all-in for 1.2M more. Another long pause, making this a 15-minute hand, while Jake Minter busts at the other table...

and... and... and... Kirk lays it down.

Tim Phan raised to 140,000 from the small blind and David Levi moved all in for his last 47,000 from the 40,000 big blind. Levi showed the {K-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}, behind to Phan's {A-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}. The board came {J-Spades}{9-Clubs}{3-Clubs} giving Levi a gutshot straight draw, but the {5-Hearts} on the turn and the {3-Hearts} on the river could not fill it for him. David Levi was eliminated in 13th place and took home $154,705.
