Anthony Sgroi opened from middle position and Chris Gras shoved for 134,000 from the button. Action folded to Veeran Zakarian in the big blind, but Sgroi acted out of turn by calling Gras' shove. The dealer explained that Sgroi was committed to call Gras' shove if Zakarian folded, but the action would change of Zakarian called or raised.
Zakarian announced all in and Sgroi quickly folded, and the hands were turned up.
Gras: 
Zakarian: 
Zakarian found aces again and once again they held through the 
board, sending Gras out in 12th place.

Lue Huang shoved for 213,000 from early position, and as it turned out several players behind him had big decisions to make. First to act was Randy Lingenfelter, who thought for a moment before folding. Action made its way to Michael Ferrer, who sat checked his cards twice, got up from his seat, and stared at the felt for a minute before sitting back down and flicking his cards into the muck.
Anthony Sgroi then moved all in, forcing a fold from both of the blinds.
Huang: 
Sgroi: 
Sgroi's decision was an easy one, and the 
board gave him a big pot to push him over the 1 million threshold.
Lingenfelter couldn't believe his eyes as he said he folded a king. Meanwhile, Ferrer told us he folded pocket tens. Wild hand.
We're on a 10-minute break.
