: 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante
We only caught the tail end of the pot, hearing more of it than we saw. We heard Darryl Ronconi announce, "All in," and almost before the words were out of his mouth, Ben Volpe snap-called. Just a half-second later, Volpe spun away from the table and let out a big, "No!" as he took a lap around the carpet. When we walked up to the table, the board showed 
, and Volpe had 
out in front of him. Ronconi had the only hand better, showing down 
for the nut flush.
It's the biggest pot we've seen today, and it has not gone well for Volpe. When the stacks were counted down, he was covered, and he'll be our 30th-place finisher here today. For Ronconi, it's Christmas come early, and he'll stack up the biggest pile of about 1.05 million now.
