An early-position player raised the size of the pot to open, Tony Licastro re-potted from the button, the big blind called all in for 11,000, and the EP player re-potted, setting himself all in. Licastro made the call. The EP player turned up K-K, the big blind showed A-A, and Licastro tabled 10-10.

The flop was 9-7-7, but a ten spiked on the turn, making Licastro's set. The river was a queen and Licastro dragged the monster pot, sending his stack up to 315,000.

At present, Licastro is the runaway chip leader, with nearly double the chips of his closest competitor.
