While we didn't catch all the action, we did see Jack Sinclair holding and raking in a big pot. Goran Mandic's chips were being sent over to Sinclair. According to some players at the table, Mandic had moved all in before the flop and Sinclair called with his aces while Mandic held .

"Poor dude," Maurice Hawkins said, who was also seated at the table. "Bluffed off 80% of his stack and finally woke up with kings. Nice hand man.

After a raise to 725 from middle position and a call from the player in the cutoff, Jared Jaffee raised, making it 2,300 from the button. Action folded back to the cut off where the player called.
