Event 17: Antoni-Oh-Yeah

$200 + $30 Deep Stack No Limit Hold'em (Re-Entry) 

Now that's what I'm talking about.  The biggest hand of the tournament so far crowns Antonio Cuin (New York, NY) as the new chip leader.

The two monster stacks at the table (and in the tournament) collided, sending Bart "The Grind" Dowling out the door.  What a stunner.

The hand started innocently enough with Bart raising 75,000 and Antonio calling.

Flop fell A 6 A♠.

Bart lead out for 200,000 and Antonio jammed all of his remaining 775,000.  Bart called.

Bart A♣ Q♣ vs. Antonio 6♣ 6♠.

"Please no queen" shouted Antonio as Bart stood up in disbelief. 

Turn 3♠.  River J♣.

Cuin stacks up to 1,650,000 and says, "What's up to everybody in the Gorilla Clan".

After flopping a full house and having it hold up, a relieved Antonio said, "I needed that...that was a monster".  Indeed!
