We aren't sure when all the chips went in, but David Bach was just raking in a double up against one opponent on a 
board. This is how the player's cards looked.
Bach:     |
Opponent:     |
By the time all the chips were counted out, Bach was all in for 40,600. With that win, Bach has well over the average stack of around 55,5000.

The player on the button raised it up to 4,000 and Stephen Su called out of the big blind. On the 
flop, Su checked and then called a bet of 5,500 from his opponent. Both players then checked the 
turn and when the 
hit the river, Su immediately shoved out a stack of 20,000. This show of might was enough to see his opponent instantly muck his cards, as Su added a few more chips to his stack yet again.

We just saw a massive pot develop preflop between Stephen Su and David Bach, with a short-stacked Joe Gualtieri caught in between. The preflop action escaped us, but we do know that Bach got his stack of around 70,000 all in and was snap-called by Su.
Showdown
Su: 
Bach: 
Gualtieri: 
The 
flop kept Su in the lead with his pair of aces, but both his opponents held low draws. The turn was kind to Su as it kept him in the lead and paired the board, but it'd be the 
on the river that would avoid a low and allow him to scoop the approximately 160,000 pot. Both Gualitieri and Bach seemed a little stunned as they exited the tournament floor while Su was understandably all smiles.

Nick Binger and Ray Hanson have just played a couple of quick hands on their respective tables, with Henson raking in some chips, while Binger was sending chips in the opposite direction. Here is how they went down.
- Henson limped from middle positon and the play was then folded around to the cutoff. This player raised it up to 7,000 and Henson called. On the
flop, Henson led for 13,000 and after his opponent tanked, Henson raked in the pot. - Folded to Binger in the hijack, he raised it up to 4,500. Only the player on the button would call and it was on to a flop. Binger took his time to check here and then quickly folded when his opponent bet 7,000.

We're not sure of the betting action, but we do know that John Gallagher got his stack of 30,000 in preflop and was up against Roch Cousineau, who you may recall finished third in Event #47 $1,500 Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Low Split-8 or Better a week ago for $103,538.
Showdown
| Cousineau |    |
| Gallagher |   |
The 
flop gave Gallagher tens and nines with an ace kicker, but his enthusiasm was quickly taken away when the dealer burned and turned the , giving Cousineau queens and nines. The river improved both players, but Cousineau stayed in front with aces and queens to send Gallagher to the rail.

We saw James Calderaro on the rail chatting with Scotty Nguyen, which led us to believe he might have been eliminated from the tournament. Sure enough, a quick check of his former seat confirmed our suspicion that he has fallen short of a payday.
