Massive Hand Alert

Biggest pot of the tournament so far, caught up with on the river of the {9-Spades} {5-Hearts} {3-Clubs} {Q-Diamonds} {J-Diamonds} board. With a number of chips already in the pot that can only be described as a lot, Tommy Pope announced all in, and after some rather tense dwelling time, Faraz Jaka announced call.

Jaka: {A-?} {A-?}
Pope: {J-Spades} {J-Hearts}

Yikes.

With that rather cruel river, Pope doubled up to a chip lead contesting 92,000, while Jaka's healthy stack was decimated. Don't feel too sorry for Jaka, though -- he managed to make a straight flush the very next hand to knock out a player, and is on a very respectable 28,000.
