Action was picked up on the flop with the board showing 2♠8♣9♦ with roughly 11,000 in the pot.
Corey Brass bet out 5,000, when Ronald Carmon raised all in for 50,000. After sitting in the tank, Brass found the call to put Carmon at risk.
Ronald Carmon: 10♦2♦ 
Corey Brass: 5♠5♥
Brass made the tough call for majority of stack, after Carmon put him to the test with his jam. Brass was ahead, but after the 10♠ on the turn Carmon took the commanding lead with his two pair, and 3♠ officially gave Carmon the double up. Brass was extremely frustrated after the hand, and left the tournament area despite having Carmon covered.

Action was picked up on the flop in a three-bet pot with roughly 20,000 in the pot and the board showing 6♠10♠6♣.
Michael Nia checked to Marc Fiorentino in the hijack, who bet 10,000. Nia then raised all in for 78,000. This sent Fiorentino in the tank, as he took off his headphones and pondered his decision. As he was thinking, Nia told Fiorentino he'd help him out. Nia said "You fold, you show me your hand, I'll show my hand, and if you were better I'll give you $100". Fiorentino laughed it off and eventually folded his hand, giving the pot to Nia.
After the hand Nia showed 6x for trip sixes. Fiorentino told Nia he folded pocket jacks.
