Christopher Larrea (Philadelphia, PA)

So maybe Chris Larrea (Philadelphia, PA) knew what he was doing when he folded his hand to Matt Elsby for the extra 262,000 (825,000 pot).  Larrea just got it in pre against Matt Glantz, holding just a 1,000 advantage in chip stacks.  The two would be vying for the pot worth just under 1,000,000:

Glantz: A♥ Q♥
Larrea: A♦ K♣

Runout: 9♦ 8♦ J♣ 6♠ 8♣

Larrea found his spot to recoup the lost chips, and his hand would hold up.  Glantz counted his chips to find that he had 1,000 less than Larrea, and the Parx Poker Room Ambassador adds another cash to his resume.
