A massive hand just went down here in the closing minutes of Day 2.
The preflop action escaped us but we do know it resulted in a three-way all-in pot worth around eight million. Punal Patel (pictured left) was in for roughly 1.3 million, Iaron Lightbourne (middle) for 2.78 million, and Frank Williams (right) had them both covered.

Patel:
Williams:
Williams had the best of it but not when the flop paired Lightbourne. Neither the turn nor river changed a thing and Lightbourne scooped both pots, which vaulted him into the chip lead and sent Patel to the rail.
Iaron Lightbourne - 8,000,000 (100 bb)
Frank Williams - 720,000 (9 bb)
Punal Patel - Eliminated
