Cole Swannack raised to 45,000, and Victorino Torres made it 175,000 to go. Swannack sat motionless for a minute before saying "all in" without so much as a flinch. With the pressure on his smaller stack, Torres scratched his head (literally) before giving it up.

Albert Kim's rail was shouting at him after the last hand, "That's it. Just keep raise-folding. No problem. Just stick around. You've got to last at least an hour so we don't have to bounce yet." But clearly Kim didn't listen.
Chong Cheong limped under the gun, and when it folded around to him in the big blind, Kim moved all in for another 234,000. Cheong decided to pay for a shot to knock out Kim. It was off to the races with Kim's
