Hand #190: Elton Tsang raised to 2,200,000 from the button. Rick Salomon folded from the small blind and Anatoly Gurtovoy moved all in from the big blind.

Tsang asked for an exact count, which turned out to be 16,650,000. Tsang counted out the chips and plaques to call, then slid them forward.

Tsang: {6-Clubs}{6-Hearts}
Gurtovoy: {k-Clubs}{9-Spades}

The flop came {9-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}. Gurtovoy made top pair to take the lead, but Tsang flopped a straight draw and could retake the lead with a 6 or 7. The turn was the {8-Diamonds}, and the river the {j-Spades}. Gurtovoy won with his pair of nines and earned a double up.

Hand #228: We've seen many an all-in shove go uncalled during three-handed play but this time we, and the spectators, did get a showdown.

Elton Tsang opened to 2,600,000 on the button, Rick Salomon moved all-in for 15,600,000, Anatoly Gurtovoy called the all-in and Tsang got out of the way.

Salomon: {Q-Spades}{J-Clubs}
Gurtovoy: {A-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}

Salomon was in deep trouble as Gurtovoy had a dominating hand, however, it was domination rotation on the {J-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{4-Spades} flop as Salomon vaulted into the lead. The {A-Diamonds} turn was a rollercoaster of a card though as it put Gurtovoy back in the lead. A large crowd looked on as the dealer delivered the {8-Spades} on the river and Salomon was eliminated in third place earning €3,000,000.
