All of the chips got into the middle preflop with a player in the small blind at risk for their tournament life against Keith Heine, who was in the cutoff. It was a classic coin-flip situation.
All-In Player: 
Keith Heine: 
Heine remained ahead the whole way as a runout of 
improved him to a full house and earned him the pot that sent his opponent to the rail.
On the very next hand (and the last one before break), Pat Lyons saw himself putting a shorter stack at risk with

Ralph Massey opened to 14,000 in the hijack, leaving just a small stack of T100 chips behind. Nick Pupillo was next to act in the cutoff and called, and the next two players folded to put action onto Jordan Helstern in the small blind. Helstern thought for about 35 seconds and then three-bet shoved for just shy of 50,000. Pupillo called.
Ralph Massey: 
Jordan Helstern: 
Nick Pupillo: 
Massey remained ahead on the flop 
but found himself going from four to eight outs that he needed to fade. The turn left him in bad shape, needing to hit a two outer on the river to stay alive. It didn't come as completed the runout and Massey found himself dry on chips as his stack was chopped between Helstern and Pupillo.

There was around 12,000 in the middle with three-way action on a board of 
. Praise Ogwo had bet 6,000 in the small blind and received a call from the big blind. Tim Reilly was on the button and in the tank with action upon him.
After about a minute, Reilly announced he was all in and slid forward his T5,000 chips to signify the action. Ogwo asked for a count and Reilly put the rest of his chips forward to be totaled to 68,600. Ogwo went into the tank for close to four minutes.
"Can I get a clock?" asked Reilly. The dealer complied and a floor was called to the table. After about 10 seconds had elapsed from teh countdown, Ogwo set down a stack of chips. The big blind then painfully folded and Reilly tapped the table as he turned over his hand.
Tim Reilly: 
Praise Ogwo:
Ogwo had called correctly with the nut flush. The big blind announced he had folded 
and Ogwo saw the pot shipped his way as Reilly wished the table a good game on his way out.

. All four players checked.
Wright led out with a bet of 2,500 on the turn and the big blind cut out a call. The other two players folded and action proceeded heads up to the river 
. Wright kept his foot on the gas, betting another 6,500.
The big blind went into the tank for a full minute and then slid his cards, one by one across the felt to the muck pile to earn Wright the pot.
