Aaron Olshan was among the early chip leaders in yesterday's Event #10, and he's finding similar success today. We just witnessed Olshan double up with the 
against an opponent's 
after the board ran out 
. Marc Roberts cringed at the sight of the turn and river as he said he folded pocket tens preflop.

Just before the break, Hoss Colao won a monster pot that saw him vault up to 240,000.
We should note that two hands before the one we're about to describe, Colao claims to have won a big pot when his aces defeated jacks. Anyways, in the big hand Colao and two other players got their chips all in preflop.
Colao: 
Opponent #1: 
Opponent #2: 
Colao was out in front and remained silent as both his opponents called for cards. The 
flop was as safe as could be for Colao, and so was the 
turn. All he needed to do was dodge an ace and king on the river, and he did just that when the 
blanked.
Colao was shipped the massive pot while the other two players were sent on permanent break from Event #12.

Todd Saffron moved all in for 47,000 from middle position, and the player on the button, who had 46,000, called off. The blinds folded and Saffron discovered he had picked a bad spot.
Saffron: 
Button: 
The 
flop gave the button a set of kings, but it also gave Saffron a flush draw. The 
turn didn't complete it, but the 
river did! Saffron gave the table a little bump in celebration while the button collected his things and exited the tournament area.

After Howard Kotchie opened with a raise from the cutoff, the player in the big blind moved all in. Kotchie made the call and the cards were turn up.
Kotchie: 
Big Blind: 
The 
flop paired Kotchie and saw the big blind rise to make his exit, but the turn gave him pause. All he needed was either another ten or an eight, but that was wishful thinking as the 
appeared instead.

We missed the preflop action, but we do know that Barry Kruger got his stack of 42,000 all in and was at risk against Ryan Rivers.
Kruger: 
Rivers: 
Rivers was behind, but these are the sort of hands we've seen him get lucky on all week long. Fortunately for Kruger, this wasn't one of the times as the 
flop gave him a hammerlock on the hand with middle set. The 
turn left Rivers drawing dead, and after the was put out on the river, Kruger was pushed the pot.

Not long ago Aaron Olshan was sitting on a big stack of 140,000. He is now out of the tournament. We're not sure what happened to crippled Olshan, but we were there to catch his final hand.
It happened when Sonny Rattan opened for 21,000 to, according to him, "pick up the blinds." Instead, Olshan ended up calling off his last 17,000 from the button. The blinds both folded and the cards were turned up.
Olshan:
Rattan:
The flop was interesting it that it gave Rattan top pair with a gutshot straight draw, but it also provided Olshan an open-ended straight draw.
"Don't give me two pair," Rattan told the dealer knowing full well a 
would give Olshan a straight. The dealer listened and instead put out the on the turn to give Rattan the straight. Olshan could chop with a ten on the river, but it wasn't in the cards as the peeled off.
