We got to the table with Jeremy Gilmore all in for his last 60,000 and approximately 75,000 already in the pot on a board of . Terry Karn called, leaving himself with 54,500 behind. Duy Nguyen asked how much Karn had behind and once he found out the amount he reraised all in himself.
Karn thought for a while before deciding to let his hand go, saying he had . Nguyen turned over for trip nines and Gilmore tabled . The river was a miracle king for Gilmore, the , and a disgusted Nguyen shook his head in disbelief, looking repeatedly at the table as if he couldn't believe what he had just witnessed. That hand moved Gilmore to 250,000.
Nguyen was left with 110,000 and would be eliminated a few hands later in unseen action.

Andre Allen, smiled, and without hesitation said "that's what she said" and the table laughed as the dealer put out the flop of . Kennedy would double up when the turn and river of didn't improve Martin's hand.
Sadly, Allen would be eliminated the next hand in unseen action but at least he brought a moment of laughter to his table before departing.

Mike Rieck opened for 14,000 and Terry Karn moved all in for approximately 50,000. It was folded to the big stack of Darren Attebery who moved all in as well. The action got back to Rieck who shrugged his shoulders and said "I'm all in too" as he turned over . Karn tabled and Attebery flipped over the worst hand of the three with his .
The first card in the window was the and the other two cards were the . "Nine in the window," sighed Rieck.
"Yea, come on," said an excited Attebery.
The river was the to give Attebery quad nines and the double knock out. A gracious Karn went over and shook Attebery's hand and Rieck simply smiled at his misfortune.
