, and Seidel bet 3,500. Again, his opponent called. He fired 8,500 on the 
turn, and that convinced his opponent to wave the white flag.

"Seems like everyone had their Wheaties for dinner!" was the remark from Vanessa Selbst, "Every pot now is three times bigger!" On a board of 
, and with only a pot sized bet behind, Falco had moved all-in against British pro Liv Boeree. The pot was roughly 16,000 and Liv thought for a while, attracting inquiring glances from those at the neighbouring 'Win The Button' tournament, before folding.
"King-Jack?" asked Falco, before showing 
, a hand which was meant by a thumping of the table in approval from Boeree.

We found Dario Sammartino on the button, heads up against the big blind on a completed board of 
. His opponent cut chips for a minute then told the dealer he was all in. Sammartino tanked for a few minutes, while his opponent kept himself busy. The player grabbed what appeared to be a pentagonal Rubik's Cube-like puzzle that doubled as a card protector and began spinning it, attempting to line up the colors.
Moments later, he had four or five of the colors lined up perfectly and proudly pointed it out to Sammartino. "Good," he simply said with a smile.
Someone called the clock on the Super High Roller fourth-place finisher, and he continued to think through the countdown. Finally, the tournament director reached zero and the hand was dead.

With less than ten big blinds, Ronnie Bardah had been looking for a hand to double up with. He moved all-in from the button with only the blinds remaining in the hand. Shyam Srinivasan was in the small blind and called and the big blind got out of the way.
