The chair that was formerly occupied by David Baker (not to be confused with David Baker) is now vacant of both body and chips, and we'll presume that "ODB" has gone the way of the dinosaur.
While everyone else left the room, Garry Gates was busy calling a raise made by the player in the hijack seat out of the cutoff seat. The flop came down and the preflop raiser bet 4,600. Gates raised to 10,000 and his opponent moved all in. Gates mucked and was left with 21,000 in chips.
When the table folded around to his button, Garry Gates moved all in for about 19,000. Right next door, one of the few remaining ladies, Lisa Parsons called all in for just less than Gates' amount, and the two were heads up for their stacks.
Gates:
Parsons:
The flop was fairly safe for the lady, but the mean she'd also need to sweat the straight and the flush draws with one card to come. Gates would not make his straight or his flush...
River:
...but that ace of diamonds will do rather nicely. Spiking his better pair on the end, Gates earns the knockout and the near-double-up to about 37,000. Parsons' day is done.

Phil Hellmuth and the gentleman two seats to his right got it all in preflop. From the positions, we're guessing that the unknown player either raised (or limped), Hellmuth raised back, and the gentleman moved all in over the top. However it went, Hellmuth called down nearly 22,000 chips to put his man at risk.
Showdown
Hellmuth:
Opponent:
The board ran out , and Hellmuth is forced to grant a big double up. It's cost him more than half his chips, knocking him back to about 19,000.
"See? I shouldn't have turned this way in my chair," Hellmuth said cryptically after he paid his debt. He may have been referring to the fact that he's been watching a bit of basketball up on the big screen in between hands. "I'm not even paying attention," he added.
