On a 
board with a little over 10,000 in the pot, Jesper Hougaard was all in for about 5,200 with two opponents still to act. The first folded, but the second called instantly.
Hougaard: 
Opponent: 
"Am I drawing dead?" asked Hougaard's opponent.
Not dead, but to the last deuce in the deck. It didn't fall on the river and Hougaard is up to about 21,000.
Pot-Limit Omaha
Ylon Schwartz HAD 5,075 chips, but just about tripled his stack in a three-way all-in hand in Omaha. Schwartz held the

.
The board ran out 
and Schwartz moved up to 13,000 in chips while busting one of the other players in the hand.
Layne Flack was ever so kind in letting us know how his day is going just after he switched tables. Flack put his chips down and tossed the dealer his new seat card before walking a few feet over to our desk and mentioning a few things to us.
"I just showed these mother f***ers four plays they've never seen. Got them wondering what tournament they're in," he said. He then walked back over to his table for a moment and then came back over the way to continue on.
"Got a guy to fold jacks on a seven-high flop in hold'em, then called a guy for his whole stack with a pair of tens, that's it, in Omaha. Laid down a full house to next mother f***er!" were Flack's comments with a big grin strewn across his face as he's up to about 17,000 in chips.
Pot-Limit Hold'em
After an early position raise and a JC Tran call on the button, a short-stacked David "Chino" Rheem raised to 1,000 from the small blind. Only the early-position player called and the flop came down 
. Chino put in his last 50 and his opponent called.
"Have a pair?" asked Chino. Upon being shows Chino noted, "That's a good pair." Chino found no help for his as the turn and river fell the and 
, respectively.
"Good luck," said Chino, graciously exiting the tournament area.
