We got to the table as Michael Tessier-Strasbourg was all-in from the small blind and called by Tommy Coulombe in early position. The board read with Tessier-Strasbourg at risk for his last 3,500,000 in chips.

Sam Phillips started the day with 6,050,000 and now has more than triple that amount after scooping up a big three-way all-in.
According to Ema Zajmovic, Phillips opened the pot and Mark A flat-called. Brent Wajcman was short-stacked and shoved, prompting Phillips to re-shove. Mark snapped him off and tabled two kings, up against Phillips' ace-queen and Wajcman's ace-ten.
The flop brought three spades, and each of the three players held one. Fortunately for Phillips, he had the ace of spades. The river brought a fourth spade and he doubled through Mark while eliminating Wajcman.
Phillips now sits on just shy of 20 million in chips at the top of the leader board.
Jason 'ConstantColorUp' Lavallee raised to 450,000 from early position and Kevin Schulz three-bet to 1,200,000 from middle position. Action folded back around to Lavallee and he gave his stack a quick count before four-bet shoving all-in for 3,475,000. Schulz basically beat him in the pot for a quick call.
