Derrick Huang was the table short stack and started the action by moving all in for 825,000. Ryan Olisar peeked at his cards and announced that he was all in over the top. This brought the action to Amanda Musumeci who looked at her cards, then at her opponents, then back at her cards once again.
"I'm all in," said Musumeci, drawing several gasps from the rail.
The three hands were revealed to the table, only to find that Olisar and Musumeci had the same hand:
Olisar:
Musumeci:

Ever since Ashkan Razavi eliminated Duy Ho just ten minutes ago, the rest of the table is seemingly scared to rumble with him. We just witnessed Razavi take down four out of six pots preflop. The first saw him three-bet out of the big blind when Derreck Huang opened from under the gun. Huang folded and Razavi took it down.
The other three saw Razavi simply open the pot preflop and receive no action from his three opponents. Razavi is currently closing in on having two thirds of all the chips in play.
Ryan Olisar has moved all in before the flop two out of the past three hands. During the first he did so from the button and was able to take down the blinds and antes.

Olisar turned over and Musumeci tabled . It was off to the races, with Musumeci the one at risk. Well, she was at risk until had been dealt on the board and then Olisar was drawing dead and the meaningless river would change nothing.
Olisar was left with only 60,000 at this point and after the 10,000-chip ante, would be all in from the big blind the very next hand. All three players limped during this hand and then checked it down as the board was dealt out.
Olisar watched as Derrick Huang turned over , Musumeci tabled and Ashkan Razavi held , the best hand - a pair of fives. Now it was Olisar's turn to show his cards.
Olisar slowly looked at his cards and turned over the first. "I have a flush draw," he said before slowly peeling back his second card like it was baccarat. Unfortunately it was the and it was all over in 4th place for Olisar.
