Sparky Covert moved all in preflop for close to 100,000 and then Ian Richardson moved all in for more, forcing folds from the rest of the table. Covert then stood up and slapped his cards on the table, quite confident.
Sparky Covert: 7♦4♦
Ian Richardson: K♥K♣
"Oh, well, I can't beat that!" Covert admitted and stood up, but then the dealer spread the flop of 5♣8♠6♥ to give him a straight and the table went nuts.
The runout of 4♣2♦ changed nothing and Covert was shipped the pot for the double.

Ricky Ali moved all in preflop and the player to his left moved all in behind for less, as the rest of the table got out of the way.
Opponent: K♦Q♦
Ricky Ali: A♥9♥
"Wait, I'm ahead??" Ali was genuinely shocked, "Can I hold for once in my life??"
The flop of 10♠5♠3♦ was safe for him, but the turn 7♦ brought in a flush draw for his opponent.
"Don't look, don't look!" Ali shouted and threw up his hands, but the river was the brick 3♥ to score him the pot while the other player made his exit.

After a preflop betting war, Richard DiNunzio got all of his chips into the middle against a player who covered him.
Richard DiNunzio: A♥J♠
Opponent: A♣10♣
DiNunzio was in good shape with his superior ace, and the runout of 6♣J♥7♣5♥10♠ kept it that was has he made top pair to secure the pot.
Soon after, he picked up pocket kings to take down another pot to boost his stack a little higher.
