Tom Schneider has just eliminated a player who tangled with him preflop. The unknown (and now irrelevant) player opened to 2,100, and Schneider re-potted it. His opponent came back over the top with an all-in shove for about 8,000, and Schneider made the call with the covering chips.

Board:
That's no help for the overcards, and that's a knockout pot to move the Donkey Bomber up to 22,000.
Michael Binger has just been knocked out after getting his chips in with ace-king before the flop. An opponent called with pocket fours, and a board full of blanks ends Binger's day right there.
A player opened the pot with a 2,000-chip bet in middle position and Danny Estes re-popped it to 8,000. The initial raiser went all in and Estes called.

Another member of the media just came over and provided us some details on a laugher of a pot over on Table 17. Steve O'Dwyer got his ~7,000 remaining chips into the pot pretty bad on a flop of . He held , and his opponent had snapped him off with .
Another on the turn opened up a few possibilities for O'Dwyer, and the dealer wasn't done helping yet. Another on the river improved him to the unlikely full house, shipping him the pot and doubling him up to about 15,000.
We're a little sluggish after dinner too, and we're arriving late to hands tonight. We missed the majority of the action on this one, but we did see a sizable pot get pushed to Jeff "YellowSub86" Williams. We walked up on the river as the board showed . Williams was in the small blind, and he put out a bet of 5,700. The big blind made the call, but we wouldn't get to see his cards. Williams tabled , and his full house earned him a pot of close to 20,000 chips. He's up to 26,500.
