We caught wind of this hand because of Bart Hanson's tweet, and its needless to say that this is one of those mind-blowing hands that are found at the WSOP due to the sheer amount of hands being played per hour.
It seems that four players managed to get it all in on a flop.
Player 1:
Player 2:
Player 3:
Player 4:
Yes. You read that correctly. All three players flopped a set and the player with pocket aces was in last place. The turn brought the case , sealing the deal for the player with pocket queens. Just to pour salt in the wound, the case peeled off on the river, giving a second player quads. We're unsure as to any more details from the hand, but you can see a first hand picture of it thanks to Bart Hanson's twitter:

The name Carter Gill is well known in the poker world for many reasons, good and bad. Gill will be hoping it will be known for winning a bracelet very soon as he is currently sitting at the felt with a touch over the starting stack.
The hand in which we caught gill in action saw a board spread out and Gill was checking the river into one opponent. Gill's opponent also checked and Gill said, "Queen", and turned over a . Gill's opponent plainly said, "Ace-Queen", turning over . With that, Gill was down to under 3,000.

Jennifer Leigh is one of the many ladies in today's field. Well that is to say she was one of the many ladies, with her tournament life recently coming to an end in brutal fashion.
With a flop showing , Leigh held against one opponent who happened to be Garry Gates. This is when the action heated up as the two players got all the chips in on the flop, with Leigh's tournament life at risk.
Gates tabled and it was looking very likely that Leigh would take a nice double up, while Gates would be left struggling. Of course, the powers that be in poker aren't always so nice and when the was dealt on the turn and the completed the board on the river, it was all over for Leigh.
While perusing through the Red section in the Brasilia room, we came upon WSOP Circuit phenom Dwyte Pilgrim who had his final 2,050 in the middle of the table with the board reading . His opponent shuffled his chips as he pondered a call, but eventually tossed his hand away, allowing Pilgrim to grab the pot, boosting his stack to around 2,800.
PokerNews' The Muck recently featured an article titled "What Makes Vanessa Selbst So Great?" and while Selbst can certainly retain that title as great, she will have to return tomorrow if she wants to win the bracelet for Event 9 as she has recently been eliminated.
Joining Selbst on the rail is fellow prominent female poker player Maria Ho who has also been spotted making her way out of the tournament area.
