Christopher Hovey raised from under the gun to 75,000 and was called by another early position player — Bin Weng. Action folded to Noam Muallem in late position, and he ripped it all in. Hovey folded but Weng made the call for about 600,000 total, and then learned some bad news.

Bin Weng: {9-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}
Noam Muallem: {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}

The board came out {q-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{q-Spades}{6-Spades} and Muallem took down the massive pot while Weng was sent to the rails in 16th place ($4,801).
