The video crew swarmed around a table where Valentin Messina and Jeffrey Rothstein were battling in a massive pot.

There was already around 1,300,000 in the pot, and Rothstein had moved all in on the river of a {10-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{q-Clubs}{k-Spades} board. Rothstein's all in was for 1,195,000, which would give Messina a big chip lead if he called and won the hand. Messina tanked for a few minutes while a sizable crowd gathered around.

Eventually, Messina called, and Rothstein tabled {a-Clubs}{4-Clubs} for trip fours. Messina's hand was also shown, having a pair of kings with {a-Spades}{k-Diamonds}.
