Biggest Pot of the Day Makes Bloom Bust 15th, Durrrr Taste Felt, and Kiveilo New Chip Leader!

This is without a doubt the biggest pot played out so far in this tournament. And it involved a threeway all-in coup which started out with a raise from Tom Dwan, called by Aarno Kiveilo, and Jani Vilmunen on the button, before Tony Bloom reraised pot out of the big blind.

What was more surprising than that was the call from both Dwan and Kiveilo (and Vilmunen gave it some serious thought too)...

The flop which launched 700,000 chips was {8-Spades} {Q-Diamonds} {4-Diamonds} . Tony Bloom had created a pot big enough to allow him to move in for 110k, and he did so. Dwan called quickly, and eyebrows were raised even higher when Kiveilo moved in over the top!

Dwan called, showing top set: {Q-Spades} {Q-Hearts} {9-Spades} {9-Hearts}
Bloom held {A-Hearts} {A-Clubs} {4-Hearts} {5-Spades}
Kiveilo held {K-Spades} {K-Diamonds} {8-Diamonds} {8-Hearts}

The turn was the crucial {6-Diamonds} bringing Kiveilo the King-high flush which was much more help than his dominated set, and the pairless {10-Clubs} on the river cemented his huge victory.

Durrrr now has to spend an hour on dinner break waiting to shove in his remaining 10k, while Kiveilo can dine in style knowing he's the new chip leader with around 800k.
