Poker loves a surprise. Just when you thought it had all gone quiet, a monster hand arrives on the horizon to send one former big stack to his sunset.
With the blinds at 2,000/4,000 with a 300 ante, Ricardo Calleja (pictured) and Kamlesh Nanakram Melvani both reached for their big guns pre-flop, as the two biggest stacks on Table 13 picked up huge starting hands.
Melvani raised the action from early position and after Calleja re-raised, his rival pondered only a moment before pushing the rest of his chips into the centre holding QQ. The ladies blushed when they saw their royal rival however, as Ricardo Calleja snap-called with KK.
Having seen them hold up, the Spaniard further increased his chip lead a few hands later, knocking out solid Danish player Klaus Kristensen - once again with kings.
It might be a little early to crown a winner, but Calleja just assumed the favourite tag.
