[user272102]

Level 10 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

We didn't catch the hand but saw Cord Garcia walking away from his table yelling "showers" to a friend. When we arrived, Matthew Lapossie was stacking a massive pot to add to his already overwhelming chip lead. We asked Lapossie what happened and he said that it started out with a player moving all in for approximately 15 big blinds with . The player after him also moved all in with . Then there was yet another all in, this time the player held . The action was on Lapossie who had all three covered and he made the call with .

The board was a good one for Lapossie was it came to give him top set. He would still have to fade the flush and straight draw the player holding had though if he were to win the pot. The turn was the and the river would come the and Lapossie would eliminate the other three with his set of queens. His stack was at an impressive 340,000 — which leads the field by a large margin at this stage of the tournament.

"That was one of the more interesting hands I've ever dealt," said the dealer as Lapossie could only shake his head in disbelief along with the rest of the table.

Lapossie recently took 7th place at the Little One for One Drop tournament at the World Series of Poker and would love to top that performance with a deep run here. He's certainly in position to do just that so far.
