Ante: 1,500
The player in middle position opened to 6,500 and was called only by David Danlag in the cutoff.
On the flop of K♠10♣J♣, Danlag led out for 12,000 but was then raised by his opponent to 30,000, to which he responded by moving all in for 43,900 total.
After some pause, his opponent made the call to put him at risk and the cards were tabled.
David Danlag: A♣Q♦
Opponent: A♦K♣
Danlag was sitting pretty with his flopped Broadway, he just needed to dodge backdoor boat outs or a queen that would chop the pot. Luckily for him, the runout came 7♦5♦ and he was awarded the huge pot for a big double-up to over 90,000.

Short-stacked Nate Kalb moved all in preflop and was called by Harry Korotki who barely covered him.
Nate Kalb:J♦9♥
Harry Korotki: K♦Q♠
Although Korotki was in the lead with his superior king-high, the flop of 8♣Q♣10♠ gave Kalb a big lead as he flopped the nut straight.
Korotki would have to get a king, queen, jack, or nine on the turn to stay alive, but it came the 6♦ and he was left drawing dead as the river fell the 2♦.
Kalb was then awarded the pot for a full double to a little over 21,000 while Korotki was left with a single 500-chip.
He then managed to win a few pots and survived the next round of blinds and is now at 4,000.

On a heads-up turn of 5♥10♥7♣5♠, Matt Sabia led out for 4,400 and then Ben Ludlow raised it up to 13,000.
After a few seconds, Sabia announced he was all in for around 20,000 and Ludlow made the call to put him at risk.
Matt Sabia: 7♦7♥
Ben Ludlow: A♥10♠
"Oooohh," the table let out a collective gasp as the hands were tabled, with Ludlow needing only a ten to take the pot.
The river 3♥ did not do it for him and Sabia was awarded the full double-up while Ludlow was short stack once again.
Lucky for Ludlow, the very next he picked up pocket aces and managed to get it all in against Ari Katz and doubled back up himself.

David Danlag opened from the cutoff to 2,000 but was then raised to 4,500 from Joseph "Joey" Lebrun on the button. Danlag decided to make the call and the two went heads-up to a flop of K♦Q♠4♠, which both players checked.
The turn came the K♠ and Danlag led out for 5,000 and Lebrun called to see the Q♣ arrive on the river.
Danlag then tossed out a bet of 10,000, most of Lebrun's stack, and he quickly received a fold to be awarded the pot.
