James McDevitt had raised from the hijack to 8,500 before Elias Fisz went all-in for 104,500 from the button. McDevitt got an exact count before he unhappily put the rest of his chips in. He raised his hands in frustration when he saw what he was up against.
Elias Fisz: 
James McDevitt:
Both players hit a full house on the 
runout, but the river only improved Fisz's hand. A full double for Fisz, who is on a heater this year with two six-figure scores at EPT Paris and WPT Amsterdam.
McDevitt got moved to the TV table to try and win some chips back.

When the action was caught the hand was already completed, but heaps of chips were in the middle of the table and were being counted by the dealer.
It concerned a preflop all-in situation between the two big stacks Seamus Cahill and Richard Berridge, with Cahill's still on the felt, together with a board of 
. Berridge's hand was already in the muck but was said to be 
.
It was found that the all-in was for 526,000 after the dealer got done counting the hundreds of chips. Cahill covered Berridge by a bit and thus got a full double-up. Cahill is now in possession of a vehement chip lead as the bubble inches closer by the hand.
On the other side, Berridge was left with just over a starting stack, worth less than ten big blinds at this point.

Michael McGarry:
