A massive pot just took place over at Table 7. And it could have been much, much bigger.
Cliff Josephy, Cary Katz and another player ended up all in after a series of preflop raises. The action was then on Antonio Esfandiari, who immediately tossed his pocket jacks into the muck face-up. Cards on their backs:
Katz:
Josephy:
Big Blind:
Board:
Katz won with his pair of kings and raked in a pot worth around 85,000. Esfandiari, also hovering around 85,000, lowered his face into his palms as he envisioned what could have been.

2011 was a great World Series of Poker (WSOP) for Steve Landfish as he accrued over $300,000 with two final table appearances in the $10,000 Limit Hold'em Championship and the $10,000 Seven Card Stud Championship. He was our chip leader until he ran into a brick wall called James Guinther. But despite the loss Landfish is still in a great position.
James Guinther raised to 1,200 in first position and the action folded around to Steve Landfish in the small blind who three-bet to 4,100. The big blind folded, Guinther made the call and we were at the flop in no time.
Flop:
Landfish bet 7,500 and Guinther made the call.
Turn:
Landfish bet 12,550 and Guinther moved all-in for 27,250. Landfish made a crying call and was way behind when the cards were over-turned.
