The big blind was forced all in for the just a few chips as Paul Gmitter from the hijack and the button were building a side pot.
The board read K♣7♠2♠9♦ on the turn with 9,000 in the main pot and about 10,000 in the side pot. Gmitter bet, the button jammed for 27,000, and Gmitter called as the covering stack.
Big Blind: 7♣4♦
Button: 9♠7♥
Paul Gmitter: K♥3♥
The button turned two pair to take the lead against Gmitter's top pair. However, the 3♠ would fall on the river, giving Gmitter a better two pair as he eliminated two players and his stack reached six figures.

Deborah Espe was all in for her final 11,000 from the big blind, and was called by three opponents.
On the A♦7♥7♦ flop, David Grandin bet 6,000 into the dry side pot from the hijack, and only Kristy Becker called from middle position.
The 6♦ turn checked through to the 7♣ river which saw Becker check-fold to a bet of 7,000 from Grandin.
Deborah Espe: K♠K♥
David Grandin: A♠10♠
The ace-magnets of Jenkins were downed by the single overcard again, and she was unable to quadruple her stack as Grandin scooped a sizeable pot with his ace.

Michael Killory opened to 3,000 in the cutoff before Frank Schinco jammed for 10,500 from the small blind, and Killory called.
Frank Schinco: A♥J♣
Michael Killory: 6♦6♣
It was a coinflip scenario as the Q♣9♣3♦ flop kept Killory in the lead. The 9♥ turn added more outs for Schinco, but the 7♣ river sealed his fate, and Schinco was sent to the rail while Killory added to his stack.
