Photo: It takes a while to stack your chips when you have as many as chipleader Hafiz Khan.
Hafiz Khan opens the pot for 55,000 from middle position, Trevor Pope reraises to 143,000 from the small blind, John Espositio moves all in for about 700,000 from the big blind, Khan calls and Pope folds.
Khan leads before the flop with [QsQh] against Esposito’s [Ah7h].
The board is [Jh9d2h10s4d], and Khan’s pair of queens hold up to eliminate John Esposito in 12th place ($47,587). Khan takes a massive chip lead after the hand with just over 4 million.
Hafiz Khan – 4,050,000
John Esposito – eliminated in 12th place ($47,587)
