The Biggest Pot of the Tournament So Far

Level 31 : 100,000/200,000, 30,000 ante
David Guay
David Guay

David Guay opened with a raise to 500,000 from early position. Pedro Oliveira called from the small blind.

The flop came down {3-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{10-Hearts}, and Oliveira checked over to Guay, who bet 775,000. Oliveira called. On the {Q-Clubs} turn, Oliveira checked again. This time, Guay bet 2,000,000.

Oliveira tanked for a while. "How much are you playing behind?" he asked. Guay had right around nine million.

Eventually, Oliveira decided on a raise to 6,100,000. Guay moved all in quickly, and Oliveira snap-called, standing up from his chair and slamming down his {K-Spades}{J-Hearts} for the turned nuts. The pot had ballooned to more than 24 million.

Guay then stood up and also revealed {K-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds} for the nuts. Neither player had a re-draw so the {K-Hearts} on the turn was meaningless, and the two men chopped up the biggest pot of the tournament so far.
