Before the break...

After a raising war on a flop of {q-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{10-Hearts}, Doug Polk was all in and at risk for 333,000 holding {k-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}. His opponent, Paul Phua, held a double-gutter with {a-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}.

The turn and river bricked {6-Hearts}, {3-Diamonds} respectively, and Polk was shipped a massive double.

A few hands later, it was Phua at risk against Polk preflop, and Jason Mo's tournament life was on the line as well.

Polk: {a-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}
Mo: {10-Hearts}{10-Spades}
Phua: {a-Spades}{5-Hearts}

The flop fell {5-Clubs}{k-Hearts}{3-Clubs}, giving Polk the lead, and neither Mo nor Phua improved on the turn ({3-Spades}) or the river ({q-Clubs}). They hit the rail, while Polk is up over a million chips.
