Michael O'Grady got the remainder of his short stack in and Steve Pappas went all in over the top only for Glenn Pollett to snap-call.

Michael O'Grady: {5-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}
Glenn Pollett: {k-Hearts}{k-Spades}
Steve Pappas: {a-Clubs}{q-Spades}

"What is happening? Is this a 3k tournament?" Timo Hettinger asked in disbelief when the showdown took place.

The bord came {10-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}{j-Spades} and Pappas spiked the ace on the turn to score a double knockout.

Only one hand later, Ke Jiang three-bet shoved for around 7,000 and John Moffitt called instantly.

Ke Jiang: {a-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}
John Moffitt: {a-Spades}{k-Diamonds}

On a board of {6-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{4-Spades}{j-Spades}{4-Diamonds}, the kicker played and Jiang became the third casualty in a row on the same table.
