Zsolt Vizsnyiczai opened for 35,000 from the cutoff and directly behind him, Vanessa Selbst three-bet to 78,000 on the button. Action folded back over to Vizsnyiczai, who then four-bet to 155,000. Selbst thought it over and made the call.
The flop came and Vizsnyiczai led out for approximately 200,000. Selbst called and the fell on the turn. Undeterred, Vizsnyiczai fired again for 230,000 - sending Selbst deep into the tank.

Three players saw a flop come . It checked to Alfred Firova who fired 35,000 (about half the pot), and Andrew Lee called. Erik Hellman then raised to 78,000, with Firova folding even before Hellman had fully pushed out the chips. Lee thought a while, then called the raise.
The turn was the . Hellman led with a bet of 138,000 this time, then Lee raised to 308,000. Hellman leaned forward. Hellman asked Lee what he had left, and Lee answered about 1.3 million.
Hellman then pushed two columns of green chips forward — either reraising all in or to 1 million, we couldn't hear. In either case, Lee said "I can't call" and folded his hand, explaining he had a flush draw. As Hellman stacked the chips, he grinningly asked Lee how big his flush draw was, seeming to imply he had one of his own.
JP Kelly busted about 20 minutes ago, and his seat was vacant until the latest table break. His seat was filled by none other then Kevin Pollak, who is the news short stack at the table, sitting on 286,000.

It all started when Eric Legoff opened to 38,000 early position. Andras Koroknai called on his direct left, Gaelle Baumann three-bet to 110,000 on the button, and Webber Kang cold four-bet to 230,000 from the big blind. Legoff quickly folded, and Koroknai went into the tank.
He asked for a count of Kang's stack, and Kang gave him a rough estimation. Koroknai proceeded to five-bet to 455,000. Baumann folded, and Kang tanked for a bit before moving all in. Koroknai immediately called.
