A player in early position shoved all in for his last 10,300 and Alan Kim called from middle position. All remaining players folded and it was time to turn up the hands for the runout.
Alan Kim: 
All-In Player:
The flop 
left Kim finding himself needing to fade diamonds now in addition to the three tens left in the deck. He would do just that as the turn 
and river 
fell and he secured the knockout.

Marco Palacios raised to 2,000 from under the gun, and the small blind three-bet to 8,000. Palacios made the call.
The small blind led out for 13,000 on the 
flop, and Palacios jammed for 31,000. The small blind, who barely had Palacios covered, called.
Marco Palacios:
Opponent:
Palacios had flopped top set to put his opponent's aces on the ropes. The turn gave the small blind both flush and straight draws, and the river completed the flush for the small blind, although he didn't immediately see it and was still standing up to leave when it was alerted to him that he indeed had made the best hand.
Palacios told us before exiting that he would return for tomorrow's Day 1c flight to give it another shot.
