The first player called and Panka responded by moving all in over the top. Suchanek quickly called for his own tournament life of just over 50,000 and the other player let go of his cards.
Panka: 
Suchanek: 
Panka led with kings up but Suchanek was drawing live with four to a club flush. The 
fell on fourth street, keeping Panka in the lead. That all changed, however, when the 
came on the river to complete Suchanek's flush. He scooped the pot and now sits on about 152,000 in chips. Panka, on the other hand, was left crippled at just 15,000.

David Vamplew opened the action with a raise to 2,500 from middle position. It folded around to Dani Stern in the cutoff and he three-bet the action to 7,000. The button and small blind folded, putting action on Dermot Blain in the big blind. He four-bet shoved for his last 33,900. Vamplew thought for a moment before moving all in over the top for his last 53,500. Stern called and all three hands were turned on their backs.
Stern: 
Vamplew: 
Blain: 
Vamplew was in a commanding position with his pocket aces and he stayed in the lead as the flop fell 
. The 
hit the felt on fourth street, leaving him one card away from scooping a massive pot. Unfortunately for Vamplew, the 
drilled the river to give Blain a set of tens. He took down the main pot while Vamplew won the side pot from Stern. With this victory, Blain's stack has increased to about 105,000.
