PokerNews arrived at the table to find Justin Vitolla awarded a huge pot and two players gathering their belongings.
All the chips went in the middle on the flop of 10♥7♥6♥. Vitolla in the small blind had a set with 10♠10♦, the big blind had a flush with K♥4♥, but the button was in the lead with the better flush of A♥5♥.
The J♦ on the turn changed nothing, but the 6♣ river gave Vitolla a full house to take a humongous pot before the break.
