A Fortunate Turn of Events

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

In a headsup pot with about 9,000 in the middle Jeff Yeh, first to act, bet 4,000 on the {6-Spades}{3-Hearts}{7-Clubs} board and was called.

After Yeh checked the {10-Diamonds} turn his opponent bet 5,000 and Yeh responded with a check-raise to 15,000, which, even though more than enough to put his opponent all in, was met with a snap-call.

Jeff Yeh: {10-Hearts}{10-Spades}
All-in Player: {6-Hearts}{6-Clubs}

Unfortunately there was no one-outer on the river for Yeh's opponent who was sent to the rail early after the dinner break.

Henry on Heaps

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Hanson Henry had 31,500 in front of him in the hijack, having called the shove of a player in the small blind. A player on the button looked to have called an initial raise by Henry of 3,500, and he was in the tank with his stack counted down. Finally, he shoved also for 52,000. Henry called that as well.

Henry: {j-Hearts}{j-Spades}
Button: {a-Spades}{j-Clubs}
Small blind: {a-Hearts}{10-Clubs}

It was a great scenario for Henry with the aces shared, and the {q-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{k-Hearts}{2-Spades}{6-Hearts} board enabled him to bust both opponents.

Lang Sharing Outs and Busted

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

A short-stacked player moved all in from middle position, Mike Lang made it 16,000 or so to go in the cutoff, and Bill Kachel called on the button. On the {4-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} flop, Lang stuck his last 22,000 or so in and his opponent called.

Lang: {a-}{q-}
Kachel: {q-Diamonds}{q-Spades}
Third player: {a-}{7-}

Lang couldn't be happy to see an ace dead, and sure enough, the board bricked out to keep the queens best.
