Sick!
Daniel Neilson got his last 1.955 million into the middle with 
, and he was flipping for a huge pot against Jan Bendik who had the covering stack and 
.
The 
flop actually robbed Bendik of one of his outs. Now, he was looking for a two-out jack instead of a three-out queen, and any ace would be fine, too. The turn brought one of those unlikely jacks, though, and the 
was a great card if you like drama. Bendik had made his straight to pull into a big lead, and Neilson needed the board to pair to stay alive.
River: 
!
That's quite a board pair. Quads beat a straight any day of the week, and Neilson has skyrocketed up to the top of the leaderboard with about 4 million chips!
