Money, Money, Maimone!
Livello 9
: 300/600, 75 ante
We just caught the tail end of this put, but it did get us back in touch with the early-day chip leader, Nick Maimone.
The board showed 
, and there was about 9,000 in the pot when a player we don't recognize bet 7,500. Maimone had his full stack of about 35,000 out there as the covering stack, and his opponent was considering the call for his last ~10,000 or so. He spent a long while soaking in the tank, and he eventually grabbed his cards and lifted the corner of them as if he were about to muck them. He paused to gauge the reaction, though, then dropped his chips into the pot to call all in.
Maimone couldn't table his 
quickly enough, and that knockout has pushed him back up to about 68,000.
