"Seat open, 432! Seats 3... 4... and 6!"

The six remaining players at Table 432 are currently waiting for players to arrive to fill the suddenly vacated seats around their table, thanks to huge hand won by Warren Russell.

A player holding {A-}{9-} open-shoved and ended up seeing a couple of others push all in behind him, one holding {K-Spades}{K-Hearts} and the other {J-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}. The action on Russell, he looked down to see {5-Spades}{5-Hearts} and decided to play along.

The flop came {A-Spades}{4-Clubs}{2-Spades} and the original raiser had the lead. But the turn was the {5-Clubs} and the river the {5-Diamonds}, giving Russell quad fives and a rare triple-knockout.

Russell looks to be our chip leader after than one, creating a bit of space between himself and the chasing pack.
