Jim Engelbrecht pushed all in from the button, and Edward Veith and Taylor Tollefson called off in the blinds.
Engelbrecht: 
Veith:
Tollefson: 
Tollefson had woken up with kings in the big to dominate both opponents. A 
flop helped nobody besides Tollefson, but an 
turn gave Veith a flush draw. The board paired up again with a harmless river, shipping Tollefson a triple up. Veith and Engelbrecht busted shortly thereafter.

flop. Sell bet 55,000, and Shimelfarb shoved for about 300,000, getting called quickly.
Shimelfarb: 
Sell: 
Shimelfarb had solid equity with a flush draw and an overcard, and he picked up more outs with an 
turn.
"Deuce," Sell called.
