, Keikoan checks, his opponent bets 18,000, and Keikoan calls. The river card is the {Q-Diamonds}

, Keikoan bets 30,000, and his opponent goes into the tank for more than a minute. He eventually calls.

Keikoan shows {Q-Hearts}

for a busted flush draw that hit a runner-runner two pair. His opponent is shocked, and flips over his losing {A-Hearts}

.

Keikoan takes down a nice pot, increasing his stack to about 240,000.

The dealer announced "All-in and call on Table 67!" And waited, as they've all been asked to do when someone's tournament life is at stake. A few moments passed and when there wasn't a stampede to the table he said, "I guess no cameras." He flipped over the {4-Spades}

on the turn, completing a flush that beat the top pair held by the all-in player. No cameras, no fanfare, just one more bustout among hundreds that never make it to television.

"All-in And a Call!"

[user38971]

That is the phrase being constantly yelled across the Amazon Room in just the first twenty-five minutes of play so far today. Yesterday, players busted out in rapid fashion and today seems to be more of the same. Tournament staff are doing a great job keeping up with all the bust outs and not a minute has passed here where the "all-in and a call!" phrase hasn't been yelled. With almost 300 more players today than yesterday, it will be interesting to see how many are left at their stop time today.
