Ausmus Wins Massive Pot
Mike Thorpe opened from middle position and Benny Glaser three-bet from the cutoff. Jeremy Ausmus cold four-bet out of the small blind and received calls from the big blind player as well as Thorpe and Glaser to generate a large pot even before the initial draw.
On the first draw, Ausmus and Glaser both took one, while the big blind player and Thorpe each drew two. The action then checked to Glaser, who led out. He could not shed any of his opponents, however, all of whom flatted.
The second draw saw Ausmus, the big blind player, and Glaser take one card and Thorpe two. Ausmus now bet out and was called by the player in the big blind. Thorpe got out of the way, and Glaser called to send the three remaining players to the third draw.
Ausmus stood pat on the final draw while the big blind player and Glaser both took one more card. Ausmus then fired off another bet and got a fold out of the player in the big blind. Glaser thought for a moment before putting out a raise. Ausmus made the call and Glaser mucked. "Did you not believe me?", asked Ausmus of Glaser as the former turned over 
to take down what may very well be the largest pot of the tournament so far. Glaser, meanwhile, was left with crumbs.
