We happened to find this hand on the flop with an unknown player all in and Julian Schulman was deep in the tank. The unknown player had 94,000 at risk and Schulman eventually called.
Schulman:

Opponent:

The board completed
and Schulman faded a bunch of outs to take the pot.
Josh Brikis opened to 7,000 in early position, Paul Spitzberg called near the button, and the dealer fanned 

. Brikis led for 9,000, and Spitzberg promptly moved all in for effectively 95,000.
Brikis quickly folded.

Tyler Kenney and an opponent were heads up with around 50,000 in the middle, and the board reading 

. Kenney tossed out 26,500, and his opponent immediately folded two jacks face-up.
Kenny mucked his hand, and raked in the pot.

...again.
The feature table has just broken due to the lack of lighting. We're fairly certain we just heard Garry Gates, Manh Nguyen, Edward Pham, Josh Brikis, and David Fox breath a sigh of relief in unison.
As soon as the WSOP went started the live stream the spotlight above the feature table area burnt out. Staff is on the way to fix the problem.

The "Amen Corner" table we referred to earlier has gotten even tougher. Seated at the table are Josh Brikis, Garry Gates, David Fox, Edward Pham and Manh Nguyen. The WSOP has decided to turn on the live stream due to the stacked table.
We're back in action following the break. The levels have increased to 60 minutes from 40 minutes.
Level: 16
Blinds: 1,500/3,000
Ante: 500
