Mark Teltscher gets it all in pre-flop with JJ against current chip leader (at the time), Ben Straate's A10. The board comes J8523, giving Teltscher top set on flop. Teltscher doubles up to just over 800,000 this hand while Straate falls down to just over 1 million in chips.

After a series of pre flop raises, Evan McNiff is all in for 813,000 with Ace-Queen against the pocket Kings of Nick Schulman. An ace hits on the flop and Schulman can not catch up. McNiff doubles up to 1,650,000. As he was stacking his chips, McNiff leaned over to media personnel standing by him and called himself "a donkey."

Action folds around to Benjamin Straate in the small blind who raises to 60,000. Steve Landfish makes the call in the big blind. The flop comes K87 and Straate leads out for 100,000. Landfish pops him for another 150,000 and Straate makes the call.

The turn is the J and Straate slows things down and checks. However, Landfish is looking to play a big pot and puts in 300,000. Straate calls.

The river is the A. Straate checks again and Landfish bets only 250,000 into this 1.2 million chip pot.

With the board reading K87JA Straate moves all in. Landfish gives up his hand quickly and Straate takes the huge pot.

After the hand Landfish is down to 480,000 while Straate takes the chip lead with over 2,000,000.
