PokerNews just heard from Itai Levy and his tablemate about a huge hand that just happened.
They said that an early position player and Itai Levy had gotten a lot of chips in preflop before seeing a flop of Q♦10♠7♦. Levy potted it out of the big blind and his opponent moved all in. Levy called and the cards were revealed with roughly 4,000,000 chips in the pot.
Early position: QxQx10x6x
Itai Levy: A♦10♦9♠8♠
The early position player had flopped top set but was up against Levy's huge combo draw. The turn came another spade, giving Levy even more outs to win. When the river came a third diamond that didn't pair the board, Levy had improved to the nut flush, eliminating his opponent and becoming one of the biggest stacks in the room.

Harlan Penn opened 70,000 in middle position and Paul Mattioda called on the button before Dustin Melanson came along in the big blind.
The dealer spread a flop of 5♦4♠3♦ and Melanson fired 100,000. Both Penn and Mattioda made the call.
The 6♦ hit the turn and Melanson moved in for his last 5,000, and both players tossed in a chip to call.
When the 2♦ landed on the river, neither player made a bet and Melanson rolled Q♦7♥6♥4♣ for a flopped straight. Penn tabled A♣K♣K♠9♠ and Mattioda tossed his cards face down. The dealer let Mattioda know all hands must be tabled and she quickly flashed his hand before pushing the pot to Melanson.
