The hand with Aladin Reskallah was picked up on the turn with the board showing 
and a player in the big blind checked.
Reskallah bet 15,000 and the big blind quickly called. The river was 
and the big blind led out with a bet of 80,000.
Reskallah tanked briefly before going all-in for about 100,000. The big blind quickly mucked not calling the extra 20,000 in the pot of already 180,000 and Reskallah scooped in the massive pot without a showdown.

A player in early position jammed for 22,000, a player in middle position re-jammed for 60,000, and William "Liam" Gannon called in the big blind.
Early Position: 
Middle Position: 
William Gannon: 
All three players had a pocket pair, but it was the middle position player with the best starting hand in poker. However, it was no longer the best hand when the dealer fanned out the 
flop. The 
turn and 
completed the board and Gannon took the pot while knocking out two players with his set of jacks.

A player under the gun went all-in for his remaining stack of 17,000 in chips and it folded around to Michael Wang on the button who made the call.
The blinds mucked and it was heads-up to showdown. The player under the gun was at risk for his tournament life.
Under the Gun: 
Michael Wang:
The board would run out 
which was no help to the under the gun player and Wang eliminated another player closer to the bubble.
