Bruce Jiang opened to 125,000 in late position and was met with a three-bet shove from Kevin Kivela two seats to his left. Jiang went into a very short tank before asking, "Do you want a call?" to which Kivela responded, "Yes."
Jiang put in calling chips and the cards went onto their backs.

Bruce Jiang: 10♦10♥
The board ran out 8♠8♣9♦8♦2♣ which was safe for Kivela who found a much needed double.
Keith McCormack was all-in and at risk against Peter Thai.
Keith McCormack: A♣J♠
Peter Thai: 4♣5♦
It's unclear how the action went but the board laid out was 9♦8♥4♣9♥J♦, providing a much needed double to McCormack.
