Eric "TABLECAPTAINN" Wemlinger moved all in for 138,000 under the gun and Ricky "Rated GTO" Guan, who was next to act, three-bet jammed for around 190,000.
Andy Camou was to his direct left with a big stack and moved all in himself. Action then folded around to Sammy Yee in the big blind and he called off for approximately 140,000.
Yee: 
Wemlinger: 
Guan: 
Camou: 
Yee woke up with aces in what seemed like a good spot, but when the board ran out 
it was Wemlinger quadrupling up in the main pot. Yee took a side pot of about 120,000 but dusted it off a couple of hands later.
Meanwhile, Guan took another small side pot from Camou and was left with 35,000 after the hand.

We missed the hand play out, but we did catch the tail end of a big hand between Jay Shipley, who started the hand with around 400,000, and chip leader Robert Valdez.
On a board containing two eights, the chips got all in with Shipley holding 
only to discover he was out kicked by Valdez, who had 
.
Shipley headed to the payout desk while Valdez extended his chip lead to 1.5 million.

Brandon Carl raised to 24,000 from UTG+1, and Alon Eldar three-bet jammed for 180,000 in the lojack. Action folded to Anthony Lombard in the big blind, who jammed for just slightly more, and Carl folded.
"That's not good," Eldar said.
Eldar:
Lombard: 
"That's really not good!"
Eldar bricked the flop, but the turn gave him a gutshot. The 
river was no help, and he flung his hat in the air, before returning to the table and giving his card protector, a tiny lego figurine, to a bemused Lombard.
