Event 1: Big Hand

Ben Stein opens for 500k from the button
Joseph Capalbi makes it 1.5 million in the BB
Stein reraises all in and has Capalbi covered
Stein calls 2.735 million

Stein 3 3
Capalbi A 4

Flop: A 5 9
Turn 6
River K

Capalbi's pair of aces doubles him to 7 million chips.
Stein drops to 5 million.

"That was not a bad beat," says Capalbi, "it was true race."

Earlier Allen Chang open shoves 1 million with Q
10 and Akiva Pearlman calls with A Q.

The board is clean until the 10
spikes on the river to double-up Chang, taking him to 2.5 million. Pearlman drops to less than 2 million.
