Hicks Wins a Monster Pot; Now Sits on 4.6MM
Nick Hicks holds a massive chip lead thanks to eliminating Andre Andrade in a crazy hand!
Gwendoline Janot opened the betting from middle position with a min-raise to 60,000 and it turned out to be a raise that sparked a flurry of activity. Next to act was Andre Moreira and he three-bet to 163,000. To his immediate left was Nick Hicks who checked his hole cards before cold four-betting to 268,000!
Now it was Leigh Wiltshire's turn to act and he agonised for close to a minute before opting to fold. Julian Gardner folded before Andre Andrade five-bet all in for 682,000. Janot folded, as did Moreira, but Hicks called and a massive pot was contested.
Hicks: 
Andrade: 
It turned out to be a coinflip for the giant pot, a coinflip that Hicks would ultimately win. The 
flop was actually great for Hicks because a 10 would have filled Andrade's straight but improved Hicks to a full house. The 
turn and 
river completed the board, eliminating Andrade and sending Hicks into a massive lead.
