Harris Pavlou - 14th Place
Harris Pavlou - 14th Place
Big stacks Harris Pavlou and Ray Sukkar recently collided in what turned out to be the biggest pot of the tournament thus far.

The hand began with a 65,000 preflop raise made by David Lee from middle position. Action then folded around to Pavlou on the button and he moved all in for a total of 675,000. Next to act, Sukkar moved all in behind Pavlou and had everyone covered. Lee folded and a showdown ensued:

Showdown:
Pavlou: {Q-Clubs} {Q-Diamonds}
Sukkar: {K-Clubs} {K-Diamonds}

The flop then came {5-Hearts} {7-Hearts} {6-Hearts} {9-Hearts} {10-Clubs} and Sukkar's kings held up to win the gargantuan pot. After the hand, we counted Sukkar at 1,975,000 in chips -- more than double the next closest competitor.
