Livello 14
: 1,000/2,000, 300 ante
On our featured table, no less, we just saw the biggest pot of the tournament develop.
We caught the action on the flop, but according to table-mate Andy Black, the action occurred as follows. David Diaz raised from late position and Philippe Plouffe re-raised from one of the blinds. Diaz called and the two saw the 
flop heads up. Plouffe check-raised Diaz all in and Diaz made the call.
Diaz: 
Plouffe: 
The two were essentially flipping for an enormous stack and Diaz was playing for his tournament life. Diaz had to avoid a heart, a king or the board pairing any cards but the Five and Seven. The turn was the 
which kept Diaz in the lead and the 
river kept him there.
After they counted it out, Diaz had 61,800 left after the preflop bets. Those chips, plus what was already in the pot vaults him to 140,000. Plouffe dropped to 35,000 but was eliminated by Andy Black a few hands later.

Martin Busts Another
Livello 14
: 1,000/2,000, 300 ante
Kenneth Martin knocked out Anh Van Nguyen when his 
won against Nguyen's . But apparently, Martin doesn't even like Ace-King that much.
Earlier, when he had pocket Jacks, he mentioned that he had never tried playing them that way. With his Ace-King, he seemed shocked that he won the hand. He's starting to think maybe his luck is changing.
