Oh my.

This pot was bigger than the three shortest stacks in the field pot together. It started innocently enough when Tyler Patterson raised to 50,000 on the button and Mitch Schock defended in the big blind. The flop was {K-Spades} {2-Clubs} {6-Hearts} and Schock check-called a bet of 55,000 from Patterson to see the {10-Spades} turn.

Schock checked a second time and Patterson fired out 125,000 only to see himself getting check-raised to 450,000. Patterson thought for a minute or two and moved all in, Schock nodded and called.

Patterson: {A-Spades} {K-Hearts}
Schock: {10-Clubs} {6-Clubs}

Patterson's rail, fresh from downing shots of Jaeger, bayed for a deuce, king or ace but the dealer instead put out the {8-Hearts} . It was a two million chip pot but it's gone the way of the man who just won the chip leader barely ten minutes ago instead of the man who had been in control of the final table at the start.
