We didn't see when it happened, but Francois Billard got his 40,600 in with 
against the 
of Roman Korenev. The flop brought a queen, pairing Billard for a double.

We missed the preflop action but we do know that Francois Billard got his stack of 92,500 all in preflop and found himself at risk against Justin Bonomo, who had more than half his stack invested.
Bonomo: 
Billard: 
It was a flip, but not after the flop came down 
to give Billard trips. Neither the 
turn nor 
river was what Bonomo needed, and he watched the pot pushed to his Canadian foe.

We found Timothy Adams all in for what turned out to be 41,900 in the small blind. Sam Chartier had limped on the button and it appeared Michael Rocco had limped under the gun as well. Rocco put in his whole stack, which barely covered Adams, and Chartier folded.
Adams: 
Rocco: 
Adams had live cards, although diamonds would be no good for him. The 
flop was not what he wanted to see, as it reduced him to three outs. The 
turn and 
river were both bricks.

Mike "Timex" McDonald raised all in for 34,900 under the gun and he cleared the field all the way around to Patrick Serda, who called from the big blind.

It was a flip, but if you read the title of this post you know how it ends up. That's right, the board ran out 
a and McDonald hit the rail.

Bryn Kenney just made a great call to eliminate Mike Watson.
The hand began when Watson raised to 5,500 from the hijack and Kenney three-bet to 14,700 from the small blind. Watson made the call and then called a bet of 13,100 from Kenney on the 
flop.
Both players then checked the 
turn and Kenney checked on the 
river.
Watson responded by moving all in for around 55,000 and Kenney thought long and hard before calling with the 
for ace-ten high. It was good too as Watson had shoved with the inferior 
.
"That's why you're the best," Chris Hunichen told Kenney after the hand.

We arrived just in time to see Michael Rocco moved all in for his last 60,000 or so — it appeard to be a check-raise — on a board reading 
. Whatever the case, Francois Evard called with the , which was ahead of Rocco's 
.
The 
river was of no consequence and Rocco hit the rail.
