Clint Jordanou was just on the receiving end of the biggest pot we've yet seen in Event #1. Michael Chrisanthopoulos was the first player to act preflop and moved all in for 29,000 chips. Action passed to Ben Delaney, who moved all in over the top of Chrisanthopoulos' raise for a total of about 200,000 chips. Nobody else even considered calling that bet until Clint Jordanou's action came. Sitting with the button, he tanked for about 30 seconds before calling all in for a total of 123,000 chips. That put almost 300,000 up for grabs!
Chrisanthopoulos:
Delaney:
Jordanou:
Chrisanthopoulos was looking great for the main pot; Jordanou had Delaney dominated for the side pot. The flop came down , improving Delaney and Jordanou both. Jordanou made the nuts on the turn when it fell . Delaney had only one out for a chop (the case ace) and Chrisanthopoulos was left drawing to two outs (the two remaining kings) for a chop. The river meant that both pots went to Jordanou.
After all of the chips were sorted, Chrisanthopoulos was eliminated; Delaney was left with 61,000; and Jordanou is the new chip leader with 274,000.
