Randy Swackhamer raised to 3,200 from middle position and Rob Bourkney called from the button to see a 
flop. Bourkney checked, Swackhamer fired a continuation bet and Bourkney moved all in. Swackhamer snap-called and needed help.
Bourkney: 
Swackhamer: 
Neither the 
turn nor the 
river saved Swackhamer and he shook Bourkney's hand before exiting the tournament floor.

Budwey Salhab opened to 2,600 and Joseph Elia called from the hijack. The button then raised to 8,500, and without noticing the three-bet the player in the small blind put in 2,600 to call the original raise. Upon realizing his mistake the player tried to fold and forfeit the 2,600 in the pot, but according to a floor rule all players must make a full call if an undercall is made — even if by mistake. After the same ruling was confirmed by two floormen, the small blind called the 8,500 and Salhab folded.
Elia then moved all in for 17,500, the button called, and the small blind moved all in for a few thousand more. The button called again, and three players were playing for a pot worth nearly 60,000.
Elia: 
Button: 
Small Blind: 
The board rolled out 
, giving Elia the main pot and the player on the button the small side pot. The one mistake ended up costing the other player his tournament.
