Big 1/2 NL Pots

[mxp2004]

What's the largest 1/2 NL pot you've seen? I watched a $1,000+ pot at the Venetian last Thursday night.

UTG raised to $20, and three players called, including the SB. Flop came down AK8, all diamonds, and the SB pushed all in for $420 with a baby flush (I think he had 7d5d). The original raiser (who had top two pair with AK) folded, but the next player called. He had also had AK, and he had over $500 behind. The last player called with her remaining $120 or so, holding the Qd for the nut flush draw.

The baby flush held up, and the winner dragged a pot of around $1,050. So this guy called a UTG raise of $20 from out of position with a suited-one gap hand, overbets the resulting pot on the flop by $340, and winds up with the largest win in a 1/2 game that I've ever seen.
