Biggest Pot So Far in Final Moments

Level 19 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

There was a massive preflop clash between two of the bigger stacks in the room late In Day 2.

Ara Melkisetian: {a-Spades}{a-Hearts}
Tom Kaukua: {k-Diamonds}{k-Spades}

The flop came {q-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}, the turn was the {10-Diamonds} to change the outs for Kaukua and the river came the {q-Spades} to secure the huge double for Melkisetian and send him to the top of the counts with the over 2,000,000 chip pot.
