In just the second hand of streamed play, Aaron Massey opened to 4,800,000 under the gun.

Kevin Eyster then woke up with a hand in the cutoff and popped in a three-bet to 14,000,000.

Nikolaos Angelou, the table short stack, then moved all in from the small blind, with his bet totaling 16,800,000. Massey then moved all in, and Eyster flicked it in to put both of his opponents at risk.

Nikolaos Angelou: KK All in
Aaron Massey: AA All in
Kevin Eyster: AK

As if the deck wasn't cold enough, tablemate Richard Alsup had folded KQ preflop, leaving Massey's opponents drawing even slimmer.

The Q24 flop was great for Massey, with the 7 turn meaning that Eyster was drawing dead. "I know something you guys don't know," said Massey to his opponents, as he took the chip lead with the 4 river, sending Angelou to the rail.
