Some excitement over on the main feature table just now -- a three-way all-in situation involving Kevin Boudreau, Eric Capra, and Filippo Candio.
The hand started with Boudreau open-pushing all in for his last 170,000 from middle position, then Capra called from the blinds. Candio then reraised over the top with his total stack of 460,000, and Capra -- whom Candio had covered -- made the call.

Boudreau stood excitedly, bouncing on his heels in anticipation. "Hey, Kevin! Run it twice!" yelled a friend of his from the stands.
As the laughter died down, the dealer began dealing the one and only set of community cards we'd have here. The flop came a dramatic , and the crowd roared. Boudreau still had the lead, and would keep it through the turn and river.

A middle position player opened for 28,000 and the action folded around to Dag Palovic, who verbally declaried a raise. Palovic put out the 28,000 call while he decided on the amount to make this three-bet. However, before he could put out the rest of the chips, Max Gurevich called the 28,000.
Naturally, the floor was called over to resolve the issue. Since the action did occur in turn and Palovic did verbalize his intentions, Gurevich's 28k had to stay out there.

Norris called with and was in a race against Ely's . Ely paired queens on the flop, to double up to 590,000. Norris now is on the short stack with 100,000.
