One table has had several big stacks all day. And now it has one ginormous stack. Sam Stein raised to 27,000 from early position, and Olivier Busquet made it 90,000. Stein asked Busquet how much he had behind. He had 790,000 when the hand started, and Sam had him covered by about 100,000. Stein made it 259,000 total. Livb tanked for a bit before announcing that he was all in. Snap call from Stein.

Busquet was stunned to have gone from 65 big blinds to out in a blink. "I suck. I just suck," he kept muttering. "I don't know why I can't fold that hand."
The floor counted down the stacks, and Livb was indeed out. Sam Stein now has has a field-crushing 1.9 million.
