The title says enough, and we just watched two pots that prove it.
In the first, Dario Sammartino limped in from the small blind, and Max Silver checked for a free flop. It came 
, and Silver called a bet of 17,000. Sammartino checked to him on the 
turn, then called 30,000 to see the 
river. Silver bet 111,000, and Sammartino paid him off.
The Brit showed up 
, and his big blind special took the first chunk out of Sammartino's stack. The second would come just a few hands later.

, and Sammartino slowly tapped the table. Silver too his cue to make a bet of 88,000, but Sammartino wanted to play for more. He check-raised to 239,000 with two towering stacks of chips, and Silver didn't waste too much time making the call. On the river, both players were content to check it down.
