Double Up for Last Year's Champ

James Hess is the defending champion for this event, besting last year's field of 3,752 players. Late here on day two we find him hanging around and picking great spots. Here is our most recent update on the champ.

Hess recently got into a betting match with an opponent that ended with him all in and at risk. Lucky for him though he possessed the best starting hand in the game {A-Clubs}{a-Spades}. Hess' opponent held {A-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds} and was in truly awful shape.

The board came {5-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{6-Spades} and Hess' aces came out the other side the best hand. Hess was awarded the double up for his hand.
