Vadim Shlez and John Armbrust were involved in one of the biggest pots of Day 3.
Armbrust raised in early position with A?A?, and then was re-raised by Shlez, who held K?Q? in late position. Armbrust responded with a re-raise, which Shlez called to put 1,140,000 in the pot.
The flop brought 5?7?K?, which Armbrust bet and Shlez called. The turn showed Q? and fireworks after Armbrust bet. Shlez raised with top two pair, and Armbrust called.
The river showed 3?, and Armbrust checked. Shlez, though, fired a bet. Armbrust called and saw the bad news, as the dealer pushed the massive 2,820,000 pot to Shlez.
