Robert Campion (Stony Brook, NY)

In the final hand before break, Robert Campion seemed poised to take a massive pot off the chip leader Peter Tripp but after one of the strangest run outs you'll ever see, Campion and Tripps were chopping a pot, leaving Campion questioning everything there is to question at a poker table.

While we missed the action leading up to the run out, we picked up the hand as Campion stood from his chair, nearly yelling, "Can you believe this run out?"

The board showed [Ac][4s][4h][4d][4c], with Campion holding [As][Ah] and Tripp sheepishly tabling [5h][5d].

Campion couldn't believe his lucky, or lack their of, at the run out as his flopped full house would get counterfeited by the river.

"That's what you get for slow playing..." Chris Leong would joke as the players walked away for their break.

Campion found a little humor in the hand and the needle, but he'd be in a much better mood if he was heading to the break with a double up, instead the chip counts at the Final Table are as follows:

1. Chris Leong - 1,500,000
2. Glen Thompson - 575,000
3. Robert Campion - 700,000
4. John Vohs - 600,000
5. Joe Kosko - 655,000
6. Peter Tripp - 4,100,000
