Event 1: Monster Hand, Monster Pot

$400 + $50 Deep Stack NLH (Re-Entry)

With 122 players remaining, they went to hand-for-hand play.  Two more must go to reach the money.

A huge hand developed on table 11 between Jeremy Rosen (utg) and George Cicak (Randolph, NJ).  Jeremy raised, George 3-bet from the small blind, Jeremy 4-bet, George 5-bet, Jeremy 6-bet (+202k) and George tanked.

Crowd surrounding table 11 during this massive hand

All hands were completed at the other tables with no bust-outs, so a crowd gathered around this table.

George finally decided to move all-in (565k more on top).  Both players were very close in chips.

Now it was Jeremy's turn in the tank.  He eventually opted to fold (without showing).  His six-bet-fold ties the record held by Scott Blackman from the 2010 Spring Poker Open.

At the urging of the surrounding crowd, George showed his hand -- AK suited.

Jeremy was left with ~700k.  George claimed the chip lead with over 1.6 million.
