Wilder Wins Biggest Pot of Tourney

Jesse Rockowitz opened the action from the hijack seat and Larry Wilder re-raised from the big blind to around 80,000. When asked to pull the bets in, the dealer couldn't quite do it and both Josh "brikdog24" Brikis and Tim "tmay420" West tried to help her. She wouldn't listen. Finally, after the floor was called, the bet was pulled in correctly and Rockowitz made the call.

The flop fell {7-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{5-Spades} and Wilder almost instantly moved all in for 430,000. Rockowitz snapped it off.

Showdown
Wilder: {a-Spades}{q-Spades}
Rockowitz: {7-Hearts}{5-Hearts}

Rockowitz looked sick to his stomach. Over one million chips were on the line as the dealer delivered a brick on the turn; the {3-Diamonds}.

The {4-Spades} on the river hit Rockowitz where it hurt though, and Wilder doubled to 1,020,000 chips.

Rockowitz is still healthy with 430,000 chips, but was a fade away from 1,500,000.
