Hamilton-Hill Wins 1.5M-Chip Pot
Level 24
: 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante
Scott Hamilton-Hill and James Nelson had very similar stack sizes, around the 750,000 mark, when they both got it all in preflop for what turned out to be one of the biggest pots of the day.
Scott Hamilton-Hill: 
James Nelson: 
Board: 
Nelson was in bad shape and needed to find help from the board, but it didn't come, and he was left with just 55,000. Hamilton-Hill, on the other hand, clawed in the 1.5million chip pot to move him into the top chip counts region.
In the very next hand, Nelson was all in again, but able to find a double to give himself some hope after the break.
