Jeff Abernathy moves all in for his last 420,000 from middle position. The action folds to Rich Brennan in the small blind and he reshoves all in for what looks to be about 1,500,000. With the action on Eric Wilbur in the big blind he goes deep into the tank thinking it over.

Wilbur eventually slides his last 900,000 into the middle and we have the biggest pot of the tournament on our hands.

Abernathy: A♣3♥
Brennan: A♠K♦
Wilbur: Q♠Q♥

The players all stand up in anticipation as the dealer spreads the K♥5♦9♦ flop. Brennan lets out a fist pump and a “yesss” as he spikes his king right in the window to take the lead.

The 8♣ and 9♠ complete the board and the largest pot of the tournament is shipped Rich Brennan’s way. Both players are sent to the rail and Brennan is now alone at the top of the counts with nearly 3,000,000
