Vatseris Cracks Aces In Biggest Pot of Main Event
Level 25
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Konstantinos Vatseris had four-bet Cosmin Nica to 500,000, after which Nica jammed all in for 1,600,000, an average stack. Vatseris went deep into the tank but eventually made the call to put Nica at risk.
Cosmin Nica: A♠A♣ 
Konstantinos Vatseris: J♦J♣
Nica had Vatseris dominated in the huge pot, but the 6♦J♠2♥ flop brought Vatseris a set to reverse the enormous lead. Neither the 10♦ turn nor K♥ river brought an ace, resulting in Nica's unfortunate elimination.
Vatseris, meanwhile, raked in the huge pot and ascended back to the chip lead, playing nearly 150 big blinds.
