John Kim opened to 11,500 in late position, and Eddy Sabat three-bet to 28,000 from the small blind. Kim called, and the two of them took a
flop. Sabat continued out with another 30,000 chips, and Kim flatted again to see the
on the turn. Sabat slowed down now, checking it over, and Kim checked it back. The
on the river put four spades on board, and Sabat took the betting lead once again, overbetting the pot with 140,000. It was most of Sabat's chips, and the call represented most of Kim's chips as well as the two men started the hand with roughly the same count. In the end, Kim tanked and called, and he'd not like what he saw.
Sabat showed up
for the nuts, and he's raked in a massive pot to shoot up to 370,000. On the flip side of things, Kim has been crippled down to just 32,000 lonely chips.

We found this hand as it was developing on the turn. Andrew Cohen had just slid a 25,000 bet into a 35,000 pot. The board read
and the bet sent Bradley Ausburger into the tank. Several moments passed before Ausburger released his hand and Cohen took the pot, pushing him up over the 300,000 mark.
After a raise from Kevin Eyster, Edgar Delatorre on the button went over the top and moved all in for around 123,000 in chips. Eyster made the call and showed

and it was off to the five cards in the middle to decided a winner.
The cards came out 



giving Delatorre a set of aces right in the door. Eyster was never able to catch up, and ended up doubling Delatorre's chips.
