David "The Devilfish" Ulliott raised to 15,000 in the cutoff, and Chris Demaci put a stack of orange T5000 chips into the pot, putting Ulliott all in. Ulliott opted to call, and the two players flipped their cards up.

Joe Ressler and Micah Smith got it all in preflop for a monster pot.
Ressler:
Smith:
The board ran out and Ressler's aces were enough to score the knockout. He is up to 435,000 after the hand as he was nearly even with Smith before the hand.
A huge commotion went up from over table 372, where Stefan Rapp and Jared Bleznick were all in for the last of their chips.
Jeff Lisandro had called, but after our PokerNews team had managed to push through the crowd, we caught the board of , but as it turns out, it was Bleznick that had hit the flush with his to double through Lisandro and take Rapp out.
Emil Patel raised to 10,000 on the button and received a call from David "Devilfish" Ulliott in the big blind. Devilfish checked the flop, allowing Patel to fire out a bet. Ulliott quickly folded, but not before saying, "Just to show you I'm defending." He then flipped (X).
On a flop of Jeff Lisandro checked to Jason Mercier on the button who bet 11,500. Lisandro raised the pot (56,500). Mercier asked how much he had behind and then re-raised pot again to 136,000 or so. Lisandro then pushed the rest of his chips in and Mercier called.
Mercier:
Lisandro:
Lisandro was ahead when the chips went in with a pair of tens, but that hasn't been a problem for Mercier this tournament, and he did it again with a turn and river for the full house.
After losing the hand Lisandro said, "Geniuses of poker here.... why don't you go tweet the world about this one, you're going to put it on twitter aren't you?" Lisandro stormed off and Mercier yelled after him, "Don't be bitter Jeff." Lots of people seemed shocked but Mercier just shrugged and said, "It was pair versus pair... I had alot of outs."
He is now second in chips only to Greg Brooks (who happens to be sitting directly to his right at the moment.)
