Right before the dinner break, a player moved all in for 37,600 and the action folded to big stack Shane Swank in the big blind.
"How much is it?" he sighed and began to count out the chips to make the call. After around 15 seconds, he slid out the stack and the cards were on their backs.
Opponent: A♠2♠
Shane Swank: A♣10♣
Swank rolled his eyes as a deuce appeared right in the window, but he decided it was still a fair fight as the flop of 4♣2♣10♠ gave him the nut flush draw.
Sure enough, the turn was the 3♣ to complete his flush and the 3♦ on the river awarded him the pot while his adversary exited the tournament area.

: 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
On a three-way flop of A♣K♦4♦, the action checked to Rob Kovacevic who moved all in for exactly 100,000 into the pot of 45,000. The first player quickly folded but then the second player went deep into the tank.
After almost 2 minutes of pained deliberation, the player finally made the call and the hands were tabled.
Rob Kovacevic: A♠K♠
Opponent: A♦6♦
Kovacevic was well in the lead with his top two pair, but still would need to fade the diamond draw of his adversary.
Fortunately for him, the runout of 10♥7♠ was clean and he was pushed the pot for a big double.
