Without a doubt the biggest early pots have played out between Ketul Nathwani and Tom Bentham. In no mood to lightly fence with those thin pointy swords, Bentham has been taking swipes with a lead pipe out of position against his tough opponent. Within five minutes, Bentham had led on the river for several thousand on a mixed painty Ace-high board, taking down the biggest pot of the day without showdown. But then about 15 minutes later, another huge pot grew which I saw from the turn:
Bentham bet out 1,700 on a board reading 3h-8h-Qs-Kd, called by Nathwani on the button. The river brought the 2h, and a slight pause, but still a 3,800 bet from Bentham. Eventually Nathwani called, was shown Ks-Qd for top two and mucked his hand. These hefty confrontations have dropped Ketul Nathwani to just 4,500, while Bentham has (necessarily) 25,500.
