Almost every table in sight has at least one player all in, no matter the stack size or the size of the pot. This is the level where players will emerge with a sizeable chip stack or get sent to the rail, truly a sight to behold

Mark Jones: K♦8♦
Big Blind: 10♦10♠
The board was 7♦9♠A♦4♦7♠ and Jones bagged the nut flush for the win.

On a flop of 6♦J♠10♠, Yin Wu bet 21,000 from the small blind and Jeremy Wing made the call from the big blind to see the K♣ on the turn.
Both players then checked and went straight to the river 2♦, which saw a bet of 60,000 from Wu. Wing showed no fear and quickly made the call and was shown A♠9♠ for a missed flush and only ace-high for Wu. Wing tabled Q♠Q♥ for a pair of queens to take down the pot.

On a heads-up flop of 6♦2♥10♥, Sami Rustom and Michael Capo got all the chips into the middle, with Rustom covering.
Sami Rustom: J♠10♣
Michael Capo: K♦K♣
Rustom's pair of tens was well behind Capo's pocket kings, but the turn J♣ quickly changed things, as he improved to two pair, and the river J♦ really sealed the deal as it gave him a full house, eliminating the not-too-happy Capo.

The under the gun player raised to 9,000, the cutoff called, Juan Marcos Lopez three-bet to 152,000 from the button, and the big blind was already all in with only enough to cover the blinds. Everyone else folded and it was Lopez versus the big blind.
The big blind's cards were already mucked and Lopez won the pot after the board ran 3♦4♣Q♠J♥10♥. Lopez held 9♦9♣.

Veronica Brill opened to 9,000 and was called by Haruki Arita, but then Matthew Eng moved all in for 45,000.
Brill and Arita both made the call and the three went to a flop of 10♠4♠8♥, which saw Brill move all in for 76,000.
Arita went into the tank for a good while before deciding to let it go and the cards were tabled, with Eng at risk.
Matthew Eng: K♠K♥
Veronica Brill: 7♥7♠
Eng was well ahead with his superior pair and the runout of A♠A♦ was pure for him to secure the pot for the double-up.
The very next hand, Brill moved all in preflop for the 76,000 and was called by Jermaine Cark, who had slightly less.
Jermaine Cark: A♦K♦
Veronica Brill: A♠Q♥
Cark was in a great position to double up here through Brill, but the flop of Q♣Q♦2♥ was not his friend as she flopped trip queens to take a big lead. The board completed with the 6♥4♦ to seal Cark's fate and he was eliminated from the tournament.
