Preflop action folded to Haris Belic in the cutoff, and he made it 2,100.
Action then folded to the big-blind player, who three-bet shoved.
Belic practically made the call as soon as the chips started coming forward. The players tabled their hands and it immediately became clear why he snap-called the all-in shove.
Belic: 
Big Blind: 
The board ran out 
, which created no sweat whatsoever for Belic, and sent the big-blind player to the rail.

The preflop action escaped us but we do know that it resulted in a three-way all-in pot. A short-stacked player was at risk for 6,000 while Joe Rudy was at risk in a much bigger side pot against another player.
Rudy: 
Big Stack: 
Short Stack: 
The 
flop gave Rudy a gutshot straight draw but it was the 
on the turn that would give him the lead.
The river was of no consequence and Rudy got lucky to knock out the short stack and double through the big.

Steve Bezler raised to 3,000 from the UTG+1 position, and both blinds defended.
After the three players checked to the turn on a board reading 
, the small blind led out for 4,000.
The big-blind player then raised to 12,000, which was followed by an all-in shove from the UTG+1 player.
Once the player in the small blind got out of the way, the big-blind player asked for a count, and once the dealer confirmed the amount was 33,900 total he thought for a moment but eventually made the call.
He then looked a little pained once the hands were tabled and he saw he was on the wrong side of a cooler.
Bezler: 
Big Blind: 
The 
river kept Bezler in the lead and secured his double up.
