Nick Burris jammed a stack of 96,000 from the cutoff and got a call from a bigger-stacked player in the small blind.
Nick Burris: K♣5♣ 
Small Blind: J♥J♠
Burris had been caught with his hand in the cookie jar and had run into a strong holding. The flop of 8♥4♣9♥ didn't change much, but the 6♥ turn gave him some additional outs with a gutshot.
Those outs were working as the 7♠ river gave him a straight to put a tough beat on his stoic opponent.

Day 1d Level 13: 3,000/5,000/5,000
Zach Carroll was down to 5,000 an hour ago but he's steadily climbed back and recently found himself all in once again after jamming a stack that he built up to around 70,000 on the button and getting called by a bigger-stacked opponent in the big blind.
Zach Carroll: Q♥6♥
Opponent: K♣9♣
"I've been good at these," Carroll said with confidence after seeing he was behind.
The confidence payed off as the board ran out Q♠7♥9♠J♥5♣ to give him the winning hand for a double.
"I won't die! I'm a f***ing cockroach!" he cheered as the opponent shrugged it off.
"I went with my gut," he said. "We both played it right."

Day 1d Level 11: 1,500/3,000/3,000
Rachel Sawyer was all in against a bigger-stacked opponent to her right.
Rachel Sawyer: A♦9♥
Opponent: A♠5♠
Sawyer had the better kicker, but the flop of J♥2♠10♠ gave her opponent a flush draw. As it turned out the runout of A♣Q♣ resulted in a chopped pot to keep the young grinder in contention.

Day 1d Level 11: 1,500/3,000/3,000
Zach Carroll was all in for his final 5,000 on a flop of 5♦4♠2♥ and the cards were flipped on their backs.
Zach Carroll: A♥8♣
Opponent: Q♦Q♠
Carroll needed an ace or a three to make a Wheel to continue his tournament run. "Let me get there one time!" he yelled as he stood from his seat.
The 7♠ turn didn't change anything, but an ace from space on the river in the form of the A♦ gave him the winning hand and he sat back down after receiving the lucky double.
