Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

A player in middle position was all in for 15,800 on a board of 10♦2♥Q♠Q♥, the hijack also shoved for 17,000, and Travis Gillihan in early position put both opponents at risk.

Middle-Position: 3♦3♣ All in
Hijack: 5♠5♣ All in
Travis Gillihan: A♥Q♦

Gillihan showed trips and was poised for the double knockout, while the Q♣ river only improved him to quads to secure the knockout.
