A couple of big hands that went the way of Raiju Sakaria and he takes down the Six Max title.

First when he held pocket Kings on a King high board.  Stuart held the final King and the chips went in on the flop.  Stuart held a tiny chip lead prior to that hand and he found himself all in in the following hand with Five Two against Five Three, which held.
