James Wall just found himself all in and at risk with 
against Sheldon Summers and his 
. Summers didn't have Wall outchipped by a lot, and so he was at risk himself to an extent.
The flop came 
, prompting a shout from Summers in response. The turn was the 
and river the 
, and Wall's Event 44 run has ended.
Afterwards the table chuckled a little about Summers' reaction to the flop, and he grinned sheepishly. As we gathered the info to share the hand, he laughed, saying "Don't forget the fist pump!"

, Elia held 
for nines, and Bach was all in with 
for two pair. That was good enough to catapult Bach up to the top of the counts while sending Elia back down around average-stack status
