Big Hands and Big Stacks in Pavilion

Walking around the Pavilion we noticed a commotion at one of the tables, apparently three players were all in. The shortest stack of the three had {k-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}, while the second shortest had {K-Spades}{k-Hearts}. The player with the most chips was Clayton Fletcher who held {A-Hearts}{A-Clubs}.

Unless some miracle happened Fletcher was going to win a large pot. The board came {Q-Spades}{10-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{A-Diamonds} and Fletcher secured the substantial pot.

Other players in the field with decent sized stacks are David "ODB" Baker, and Faraz Jaka who have both crossed the 10,000 chip mark.
