We watched Andy Hwang reraise over the top of Natale Kuey's 6,000 bet before the flop, and when Kuey called the 14,700 bet we stuck around to see the fireworks firsthand.

The flop rolled out {3-Hearts}{a-Spades}{q-Hearts} and it appeared to be an action board, but both Hwang and Kuey checked down to take the {6-Clubs} on the turn.

Two taps of the table later and we were off to the river, which came {k-Diamonds} and prompted Kuey to check for a third time. Hwang was done with the soft stuff though, and he used two hands to move a bet of 7,400 into the middle. Kuey wasted little time in making the call, but he mucked even quicker when he saw Hwang table {k-Hearts}{k-Clubs} for a rivered set of kings.

The play in this hand is indicative of that exhibited by the rest of the field, for the most part, as the average stack sits at just about 67,000 big blinds at the 500-1,000-100 level of play.
