A player in middle position shoved for 18,900 and Scott Montgomery, who was next to act, called. Action folded around to the blinds and [Removed:270] Vismantas jammed over the top for what looked like about 70,000. After some consideration, Montgomery folded, and the two live players tabled their hands.
[Removed:270] Vismantas:
Middle position:
Vismantas had a big lead with his queens and his opponent needed a lot of help from the deck to double up. The board ran out which changed nothing, so Vismantas took the pot to chip up substantially.

There was a huge pile of about 45,000 chips already in the middle and the completed board read when we got to the table. Alex Keating was in the big blind and bet what looked like 27,000 into his lone opponent in the cutoff, sending him into the tank.
"Banker seven on board," said Keating with a smile.
"That's what I think you have: pocket sevens," his opponent replied.
Ultimately, the cutoff folded, and Keating decided to let him pick one of his hole cards to show. He flipped over the as Keating scooped his newly-acquired chips.
