Nicolas Markatos (Astoria, NY) raised it pre-flop and got one caller. On the flop of K Q T with two spades, all the chips went in the middle. Nicolas was ahead with AQ of spades for middle pair with flush draw and gutshot straight and straight-flush draws. His opponent held JT offsuit for bottom pair with open-ender.

Turn was a King giving both players a second pair. River was the Jack of spades, giving Niko the Royal flush for the overkill (he was ahead the whole way) and sending his opponent to the rail.
Niko has made quite a comeback. At 1am on day one, he was down to only 20k with an hour left to play. He finished day one with 223,500 and now is up to just under 400k.
Niko finished 5th in the $170 NL event during the Borgata Winter Open in January 2011, taking home over $11,000.
