Zolotow Flops a Boat and Scoops Biggest Pot of the Tournament
Steve Zolotow raised to 80,000 from the hijack and was called by Andreas Zampas on the button. Jhojan Rivera also made the call from the big blind.
The three players saw a flop of 2♠2♣10♠ which Rivera initially checked. Zolotow bet 150,000, and Zamplas potted it. Rivera then repotted it to around 1,500,000, and Zolotow called. Zampas folded.
With just a few chips left each, the rest of them went in on the 9♦ turn card which created the biggest pot of the tournament so far.
Steve Zolotow: A♦10♥10♦8♦ 
Jhojan Rivera: 9♣8♣6♠2♦
Rivera was drawing to just one out but the 3♣ isn't what he was looking for and the gigantic pot was pushed in Zolotow's direction.
Rivera had just 35,000 chips remaining after that hand but won two all-in pots to bring his stack back to around 350,000.
