We just saw what can only be described as a world class call by Joao Dornelesneto to give him the chip lead as we approach the final 100 players in this event. The table caught our attention when we saw at least 120,000 already in the middle on a board that showed

His opponent said "Nice call. Queen high." Dornelesneto rolled over just
