Big Stax 1500 (Day 1B): Gossweiler Wins A Monster

Level 14 (Blinds 1,500/3,000/400)
Total Day 1B Entries: 73

The hand of the day was almost missed, but Joseph Gossweiler and J.R. Marquette just got it in on the flop for a pot worth over 240,000.  Walking up to Table 46, Marquette would have his full 115,000 stack across the line, with Gossweiler having a matching stack in front of him (putting Marquette at risk):

Flop: 8♠ Q♣ 2♠

Gossweiler: K K        Marquette: A♠ Q

Turn: 4

River: 2

While it hasn't been verified the betting leading up to the two hands being tabled, it's clear that this was the largest pot of the tournament, and Gossweiler assumes the chip lead after his hand held (375,000).  Marquette would say, "You tried to tell me, I should have folded," as he walked away from the table, clearly having second thoughts about the way the hand played out.
