All sorts of rumors have been flying around today about some huge pots that went down inside the Rio last night in the cash games. One was about a $4000/$8000 PLO game where a million dollar pot was played out.

The other was about a $600,000 pot in a NLH game where a top pro made a sick call with pocket nines on a jack high board after his opponent moved all-in with a gutshot draw. They ran it twice and split the pot after the straight came on the second run.

We won't mention any of the names involved as you know how the details can get blurred as the story gets passed on. Let's just say they are well known players.
