And just like that, we're down to a dozen.
In what would be the biggest hand of the evening so far, a very short-stacked Scott Wygal open-shoved for his last remaining chips from under-the-gun. Right behind him, Donald Michael re-shoved his own stack for over 100,000. Right behind *him* Geogri Ivanov announced an all-in of his own, having the previous two players covered. Everyone else folded and hands were revealed.
