Gino Gesso

The action at Table 51was picked up on the river of a multi-way pot between Marvin Siegel, Gino Gesso, and Joseph Rieg.  The board would read K♦ 7♠ 3♦ Q♥ 8♦, and Siegel led out for 8,500.  Gesso casually grabbed a handful of gray chips and raised to 25,000.  Joseph Rieg went into the tank for a few moments before painfully folding, with action back on Siegel.

Marvin would announce to the table that he had a flush, and after pump faking a few times, he folded 2♦ 5♦ face up.  Gesso showed his hand to the table, flashing Q♦ 4♦ for a higher flush, and would chip up to 52,000 with the pot.  After the hand was finished, Rieg announced that he too had a flush, folding 10♦ 9♦.

Sean Byars would also be doubling up at the same time at Table 47, flopping broadway against Ibraim Ibraimovic's turned two pair to eliminated Ibraim and chip up to 77,000.
