The following hand was relayed to PokerNews by the players at the table.
Maxwell Schrack and Jose Cedeno were all in preflop for an over 4,000,000 chip pot.
Jose Cedeno: QxQx
Maxwell Schrack: JxJx
The flop gave Cedeno a set when it came QxKxXx but the 9x on the turn and the 10x on the river gave Schrack a straight to scoop a massive pot while Cedeno was left to wonder what could have been on his pay to the payout line.

With about 700,000 in the middle the flop read K♥9♦7♥ and Arthur Demmerly check-raised a bet of 200,000 from Richard Juliano to 500,000. Juliano took a moment before piling up a three-bet to 1,500,000 and slid it across the line. Demmerly eyed his own stack and after about 30 seconds of deliberation he flashed one card to Juliano and mucked his hand.

Jose Cedeno raised to 120,000 from the cutoff and was called by Jennifer Sabuel in the big blind.
The dealer fanned a flop of 9♣K♣6♥, Sabuel checked, Cedeno bet 120,000 and Sabuel called.
The turn was the 3♠ Sabuel checked again, this time Cedeno chose to bet 200,000. Sabuel called.
Action checked through on the K♦ river. Sabuel tabled K♥10♥, Cedeno showed the K♠ and mucked his other card. "You check behind, so sick" commented Sabuel. She was left wondering what could have been if this pot played differently.
