2007 WSOP bracelet winner Chris Reslock commands one of the biggest stacks in the room, and he just busted an opponent at his table.
Ronald Lee opened to 1,100, a player moved all in for just over 10,000, and Reslock re-shoved, having everyone covered. Lee quickly folded, and the hands were turned over.

With time running out at the end of Day 1a small stacks are busting left and right. We've seen more tables break in the last 15 minutes than we've seen all day.
A player in late position open-shoved for about 11,000, and "Karate" Mike Santoro re-shoved for a little over 40,000. The rest of the players folded, and the hands were opened.
