Brian Irvine bet 600 from the small blind on a 
flop, and his opponent in middle position made a massive raise to 3,100. Irvine thought for awhile before pushing his whole stack in, and he was quickly called.

We found a massive pot brewing at Ken Auker's table, where he had put in 1,200 on the button and been called by both the big blind and Jeff Grimes. Another player in early position had put a hefty stack of chips out, and Auker moved in for 21,250. The big blind and Grimes quickly folded, and the early player called.
Auker: 
Opponent: 
"You were the one I was worried about," Auker's opponent said with regret. "I figured if I could get you out, I'd get them out."
Auker's ace-king held as the board came

The board was 
on the turn when two players were all in with another player thinking. Mike Ross was under the gun with his stack in the middle, and Josh Reichard on the button had called off. Apparently, the action had started with a bet from the big blind, a call from Ross, and a raise from Reichard. The big blind called, and Ross shipped it. After the big blind finally folded, Ross revealed he had been caught.
"I thought 1,000 percent you had no hand," he said with a laugh, turning 
for the nut flush draw and a gutshot.
Reichard had the goods with 
for the nut straight. The big blind said he folded a weak straight. The dealer burned and turned the 
though, giving Ross his flush and putting a painful beat on the Wisconsin native. He took it in stride and headed for the reentry desk.

Ante:
Judd Greenagel bet 1,000 on a 
flop against two opponents. Terry Ring called from the button, and Reg Powell called from Greenagel's right in middle position. On the 
turn, Powell checked, Greenagel bet 1,600, and Ring was the only caller. A finished out the board, and Greenagel bet small, 1,200. Ring quickly called.
Greenagel showed 
, but they'd been cracked by Ring's 
for a straight.
