Todgeo Meinert got it all in preflop from under the gun for 32,500 against Kristin Dahl in the small blind who had the covering stack.
Todgeo Meinert: 3♣3♥ 
Kristin Dahl: A♥Q♥
The 3♠ was the window card, but Meinert wasn't out of the woods yet as the rest of the flop revealed the 10♣ and J♥. Dahl still had outs with a gutshot to Broadway as well as a backdoor flush draw.
The turn landed the 10♥, improving Meinert to a full house, treys full of tens. However, Dahl still had one out to a Royal Flush in the king of hearts.
The 4♠ river was a blank and Meinert secured the double up to get back above starting stack.

After three players limped, John Volgren bumped it up to 7,000 on the button and was called by each of his opponents.
Action went four-ways to a flop of 3♣4♥2♦ and it checked around to Volgren who fired out a bet of 25,000.
Nobody wanted to continue and the pot was pushed Volgren's way as he showed A♦A♣ to the table.

Joshua Karnik raised to 2,500 in the hijack, Jon Wurden flatted in the cutoff, and John Reading who won a bracelet in Event #6: $1,000 Hyper No-Limit Hold'em at the 2015 WSOP, three-bet jammed for 11,500 to put himself at risk. Both of his opponents made the call.
The flop came J♦8♥7♥ and Karnik began with a check. Wurden moved all in for 35,800 and Karnik quickly called, having Wurden covered by just 300 chips.
John Reading: 10♣9♣
Jon Wurden: A♥J♣
Joshua Karnik: K♥10♥
The turn landed the A♦ giving Wurden two pair aces and jacks. Reading flopped the nut straight and was in great position to triple up but Karnik still had a plethora of outs with both straight and flush draws.
The 3♠ rolled off on the river and Reading was awarded the main pot. Wurden's two pair was good to take the side pot, and Karnik was left on fumes.
