According to players at the table, the player under the gun raised without looking at his cards to 27,000. (Some players explained that he straddled, which isn't a legal tournament move, so essentially he was just putting in chips blind.) Action folded around to the button where the defending champion of this event, Tim Mitchell, moved all in over the top with a covering stack. Action folded to the big blind where Ken Demlakian was. He looked at his cards and called putting himself at risk. The under the gun player looked at his cards and called as well and creating a monster pot of over 100,000.
Under the Gun:
Ken Demlakian: 
Tim Mitchell: 
The board ran out 
and Mitchell made a pair of aces to take down the massive pot and eliminate Demlakian in the process. A furious Demlakian stormed off after the hand, commenting on Mitchell's call. But Mitchell sat with a smile as he collected the monster pot.
