Big Stacks Bang

Yuan Xu raise to 8,000 from under the gun and called the 25,000 re-raise by Xuan Khang Dinh from the hi-jack.
The dealer peeled a flop of J♠ 7♠ 3♠ . Xu check-called the 50,000 barrel fired by Dinh to see a 5♥ on the turn. Both slowed down to see a free A♠ on the river.
Xu bet out 110,000 and Dinh made the call.
Xu showed the nut-flush with the king-spade while Dinh's queen-spade also looked good, but not enough to take down the enormous pot.

Son Le Catches Dinh

Son Le raised to 5,000 from under the gun and was called by both blinds. Three players were shown a flop of J♣ 2♣ Q♥ . Action was checked to Le who bet out 8,000. The small blind got out of the way leaving big blind Xuan Khang Dinh to make the call.
The turn showed an A♥ which both players checked to see a free T♦ on the river. DInh check-raised the 5,500 bet of Le to 40,000 and Le snap called to show a pair of aces against the mere king-high of Dinh.
