Vygerdas Jonikas was sitting on 128,000 at the break. His son, Pijus Jonikas was also in the Main Event but is now railing his father.
Pijus shared with us a couple of hands that helped his father snag one of the biggest stacks in the room on Day 1c.
First, he found some small value with eight-deuce suited on a queen-jack-eight-eight-queen board.
A bigger pot was soon to follow when his aces held against queens in a pot north of 60,000. While Pijus will likely not re-enter, he at least has a nice sweat thanks to Vygerdas.
