We caught up to see David "Doc" Sands heads up in a pot against an opponent. With over 7,000 in the pot and the board reading 
, Sands' opponent bet 3,150.
Sands sat thinking before finally reaching for his massive stack of yellow t1,000 chips. Sands moved the entire tower into the middle which was enough to put his opponent all in. Sands' opponent had about 12,000 behind and opted not to put his tournament life on the line this hand. Sands was able to drag the pot and he now has roughly 52,000 in chips.

With the board reading 
, we found Greg Raymer announce that he was all in. His opponent shrugged proclaimed a call.
"Well, I'm drawing live," lamented Raymer. He showed 
and was behind his opponent's for a pair of eights.
The river did not improve Raymer's hand and the second ambassador for this event was sent to the rail. Raymer signed a fossil and gave it to his opponent. We're certain that Raymer will be back tomorrow to try his luck once again.
