We didn't catch the hand until the end, but Pierre Gaureau relayed to us what was the biggest pot of the tournament thus far — by far.
On a flop of 
Peter Raimondi led out for 12,000 and Geatreau called to see the 
on the turn. Raimondi led again, this time for 17,000, and Geatreau called. The river was the 
and Raimondi bet 70,000. Geatreau moved all in and Raimondi snap called, saying he had the nuts with 
for a full house.
But he didn't have the nuts — Geatreau tabled the 
for a straight flush to win a massive pot and send Raimondi to the rail just short of the money.
The money bubble burst at the other table moments later, and the remaining 15 players are guaranteed $360.

Joe Ciffa contonues his climb up the leaderboard. We walked up to his table to see Ciffa check on a 
flop. Travell Thomas bet 7,500, Peter Raimondi called, and Ciffa quickly tossed out six T5,000 chips for a raise. Thomas folded, and Raimondi went deep into the tank.
"You got six-seven," he asked Ciffa.
"Close!"
Raimondi thought it over a bit longer before mucking his 
face up. Ciffa was kind enough to show his 
before raking in another nice pot.

Jonathan Revere and two other players limped preflop, and the player in Seat 1 moved all in. Revere re-shoved, prompting the other two limpers to fold.
Revere needed help with his 
against , and he got more than he needed with the 
board. Quads were good enough for Revere to send one player to the rail and cross the 100K mark.
