We're not sure of the betting as we stumbled upon the table a tad too late; however, we did see that Tim West got his stack of 24,500 all in preflop against an unknown opponent.
Showdown
West: 
Opponent: 
West was in a dominating spot and looking to dodge a king to keep his Main Event hopes alive. The 
flop did nothing to diminish his hopes, and neither did the 
turn. West sat quietly as the 
fell harmlessly on the river and he doubled to a little over 50K.

Jamie Kerstetter opened with a raise to 2,000 from middle position and got one caller from the cutoff. The flop came 
, and Kerstetter continued with a bet of 3,700. Her opponent quickly called. Both then checked the turn.
The river brought a fifth black card, the . Kerstetter took a quick look across the table out from under the brim of her baseball cap, then set out a bet of 11,200. Her opponent thought a moment, then let his hand go.
Kerstetter sits with about 130,000 as we near the end of Level 8.
With a pot of around 25,000 already in the middle, Jon Friedberg was tanking on the river before firing out a 8,500 bet with the board reading 
. His opponent grimaced a bit before counting out the bet, having only around 18,000 back if he were to make the call.
Finally, with a certain amount of resignation, he threw the chips into the middle and Friedberg turned over - but his opponent flipped 
for a chop.
Friedberg's foe said, "I'd have been happy if you'd shown me aces but unhappy if you'd flipped ace-king..."
