Vadim Shlez and John Armbrust were involved in one of the biggest pots of Day 3.

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.
