Wow, What a Pot
William Stabler had raised and chip leader Kevin DeTienne reraised. Stabler reraised and made it 310,000 to go, which DeTienne called.
The flop came down 
and Stabler bet 400,000 with 245,000 behind. DeTienne immediately announced all in and Stabler went into the tank. After a minute or two, he made the call and a massive pot was created, but first there was a little issue to be resolved.
Dennis Phillips immediately piped up when Stabler made the call and halted the action, claiming that he thought the pot was short. He mentioned that when DeTienne called the 310,000, he didn't put enough chips in. The dealer then pulled things in, but DeTienne was short. The pot was reconstructed and it turned out that Phillips was right and DeTienne owed another 100,000 to the pot. He tossed it in and things were good to go.
DeTienne turned over the 
for a flush draw and Stabler the 
for an overpair of nines.
The turn brought the 
and the river the 
, giving Stabler the pot and moving him way up the board to the top with nearly two million in chips. DeTienne was knocked back to 1.1 million.
