Hot Dusts Two
A player raised to 4,000 from under the gun and received a call by another player in middle position. Action folded around to Igor Hot, who was on the button and went all in.
Hot was already sitting with a wall of chips and the reraise effectively put both other players in. They both were sitting with between 20,000 and 30,000, and the original raiser committed the rest of his chips after about 15 seconds.
The middle-position player then went into the tank for about 40 seconds before deciding to call as well. The dealer requested all three hands be turned up for the runout.

The board ran out to give Hot a pair of kings on the river.
"Ace-king," said the dealer, pushing the king forward and announcing Hot's hand as best. Both players found themselves with no chips left to play and made their way from the tournament area as Hot scooped the pot and added to his stack.
"It's your day," said tablemate Cody Brinn. Though there are still four-and-a-half levels left in the night, Hot looks to be the chip leader by a decent margin despite some large stacks around the room.
