Heinz Traut was just all in for 13,500 chips, as he shoved under the gun, and the player in the big blind called.
Traut: 
Opponent: 
The board ran out 
and the queen on the river improved Traut's hand after his opponent flopped a pair of jacks.
"Yes!" Traut yelled, as he kept his chances of making the money alive.
On the very next hand, the last hand before the break, Jason Lavallee raised on Traut's big blind, and the German took a very long time before folding his cards.
"Just think about all the things you can buy with €8,800," Lavallee jokingly said.
As Traut remained silent, Lavallee continued, "I'm not sure about you, but to me €8,800 is a lot of money."
Eventually Traut folded, and Lavallee showed, 
.
"You know I would've at least made a straight," Lavallee said, as all the players went on a break.

When we just arrived on the scene a huge pot was ongoing, and two players were already all in on the 
flop.
Team PokerStars Pro Johnny Lodden was all in for the small blind for roughly 230,000, Dominykas Karmazinas was all in from the big blind for 172,000 and the action was on Aleks Dimitrov in early position.
It seemed as though Lodden had check-raised all in, followed by Karmazinas who called all in. After a while Dimitrov called, creating a massive three-way all in.
Dimitrov:
Karmazinas: 
Lodden: 
Dimitrov was one diamond, and the board not pairing, away from knocking out two players, but the 
turn and the 
river gave Karmazinas a triple up. Lodden won the side pot, but he still lost chips, and Dimitrov was the biggest victim in this clash.
