Michael Hofer jammed for 6,600 in middle position, and action folded to Andy Milonakis in the small blind.
"I think I'm going to make a donkey call," Milonakis said, and a few moments later, he made the call.
Michael Hofer: 
Andy Milonakis: 
Milonakis hit an eight on the 
flop, and no ace came on the

Level 7
: 300/600, 600 ante
A player jammed for 2,100 from the small blind on a 
flop, and Paul Brockschmidt shoved for 4,600 from the hijack. Brett Gordon called on the button, shooting for a double bounty.
Opponent: 
Paul Brockschmidt:
Brett Gordon:
Brockschmidt had the best hand with ace-high, but both of his opponents had two live cards and a gutshot, and the small blind also had a flush draw. The 
turn and 
river faded everything for Brockschmidt, and he earned a bounty and more than doubled up.
