On a heads-up turn of 6♣9♥4♥2♠, there was close to 430,000 in the pot when Sean Cha checked over to Carson Wieland, who thought for a bit before he checked back.
The river fell the 5♣ and Cha checked once more, then Wieland moved all in for around 400,000 and Cha promptly folded.
"Phew!" Wieland exhaled dramatically and wiped the invisible sweat from his brow as he was awarded the pot.

Before the flop, Jeffrey Edwards and David Shaw got all of the chips into the middle, with Shaw covering.
Jeffrey Edwards: J♦J♣
David Shaw: A♦K♦
The flop came out Q♦5♦6♣, with Edwards' jacks still in the lead.
"Put a diamond out there to make it interesting," Tablemate Will Leffingwell commented. and sure enough, a diamond came, but it was the K♦ to give Shaw the lead.
"Whoops, wrong diamond," Leffingwell shrugged as the river came the 3♠ to give Shaw the win and Edwards was sent to the rail.

On a three-way flop of 7♣9♠2♦, Lam Tran led for 100,000 and Carson Wielnad called behind, but then Caesar Hinojosa raised to 450,000.
After some pause, Tran moved all in for 735,000 total and Wieland quickly got out of the way. Hinojosa shook his head and made the call, covering Tran by only a few chips.
Lam Tran: 9♣9♥
Caesar Hinojosa: A♠A♦
Hinojosa needed to spike an ace to catch up with Tran's top set of nines, but the runout of 8♠5♠ failed to do so and Tran was awarded the massive pot.
Left with only 4,000, Hinojosa exited the very next hand when he was was forced all in from the big blind and failed to survive.

Thomas Weatherstone moved all in preflop for around 80,000 and Carson Wieland raised to 200,000, but then Rachelle Park moved all in for around 315,000. Wieland quickly tossed out the additional chips to put her at risk, and the cards were tabled.
Thomas Weatherstone: 7♣7♠
Rachelle Park: K♥K♦
Carson Wieland: A♦Q♦
Park was a big favorite in this matchup, but the flop of 6♦J♦6♠ gave her a sweat as Wieland flopped a flush draw.
Fortunately for Park, the runout was clean as it came 5♣10♠ and she was awarded the pot as well as Weathertone's bounty
