Quoss Takes a Commanding Chip Lead

In what was easily the biggest pot of the day, Cody Slaubaugh raised to 6,600 preflop and got re-raised all in for 39,200 by Ryan Welch.

Fabian Quoss called the raise and, when action folded back to Slaubaugh, he re-shoved all in. Again, Quoss called and the hands were shown.

Slaubaugh: {J-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}
Welch: {A-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}
Quoss: {A-Clubs}{A-Spades}

Welch caught a pair when the flop came {2-Spades}{9-Spades}{5-Spades}, but it wasn't enough. The {Q-Clubs} on the turn and {3-Hearts} on the river ended the hand, and passed the 416,400 chip pot to Quoss. Welch went to rail, while Slaubaugh has just 60,000 remaining.
