There was only 6,000 or 7,000 in the pot on the flop, so it must have been an impressive raising war that led to the bets we saw in front of these two players. By the time we caught up with the action, there was 9,000 in front of Antonio Maranzano (position) - and 40,600 in front of EPT Snowfest runner up Russell Carson, who had just 2,000 left behind. Eventually Maranzano gave it up, and Carson took the pot without the hassle of a showdown.
