With a massive pot of about 80,000 already brewing and the board reading , Rocco Palumbo was in the big blind and facing a decision for his stack against Russell Thomas, who had put 85,000 chips into the middle. Palumbo had about 35,000 behind and went into the tank for several minutes.
Ultimately, he called and flipped over for fives full which was good enough to win the pot against Thomas who showed for a missed flush draw.
Michael Mizrachi opened to 3,500 from under the gun, the player next to act called, and Patrick Leonard three-bet from the button to 14,000. Mizrachi was the only caller and the flop came . Mizrachi checked, Leonard bet 15,500, and Mizrachi called.
The turn brought the and Mizrachi checked again. Leonard took a bit of time to count out his chips and think before sliding his entire stack into the middle, which sent Mizrachi into the tank. After just under a minute, Mizrachi folded and Leonard took the pot.
"I know I had you preflop," said Mizrachi.
"Queens?" asked Leonard. Mizrachi nodded and shrugged.
