John Kim, after losing a good chunk of his leading stack to Valérie Vaillancourt, came back with a vengeance, although he took it out on his other table mates. He was seen with a rebuilt stack, taking out Maxime Marcouiller. John put him all-in on the river, and Maxime called after some thinking, only to see a queen in John’s hand, filling up the other 3 queens on the board. His stack is estimated at 530K, 3 and a half times the average.
The left photo below shows John staring at Maxime after his river bet. The right photo shows John and Valérie, sitting side by side as the last level runs out, moments after Maxime’s departure.
Day 1C starts at 7pm sharp, and will be the last starting flight for the Playground 500.
Here are a few more photos big stack holders:
