A player in early position opened to 350 before Jennifer Tilly, who was stacking chips after knocking out an opponent in a previous hand, announced, "raise" and tossed out a blue, T5,000 chip. The dealer gave her a quizzical look, asked her if she meant to make it 5,000 and she nodded. Action folded to Evelyn Ng who thought 5,000 wasn't enough and moved all in for 29,925.
The original raiser folded and the action was back on Tilly who went deep in the tank. After a few moments of deliberation she finally made the call and the two were racing for a 60,000-chip pot.
Tilly: 
Ng: 
The 
flop pushed Tilly into the lead and Ng needed to catch either runner-runner straight cards or one of the two remaining queens to win the hand. The 
on the turn changed little and the 
on the river ended the hand and Ng's tournament.
Tilly is off to a very fast start and after winning that huge race she's up to 90,000 chips.
