"I have a little less than $50K," said Terrence Chan to Ryan Olisar before Olisar threw in a three-bet to 8,500. Chan had opened the pot to 3,600 and now it was back on him to act.
After quite some time Chan announced he was all in and Olisar snapped him off as the two players turned their hands over.

When the [asjs5j] flop hit the felt, Chan started gathering his belongings and wished the table good luck. The turn and river bricked out and Chan continued making his way out of the tournament area. A quick look on Twitter tells us that he will be registering for the $1,500 Pot-Limit Omaha event almost immediately.
Action folded to Vassil Kakaradov on the button and he raised to 3,300. Christopher Bolek reraised all in from the small blind for around 26,000. Kakaradov called.

From middle position, Jason Mercier raised all in for his last 4,500. Action folded to the player in the small blind and he reraised to 9,000. Everyone else folded and Mercier was at risk with the versus his opponent's .

2010 PokerStars Caribbean High Roller Champion William Reynolds has spent the better portion of today building his stack, but has recently taken a hit after losing out to two shorter stacks all in preflop.
We caught up after the two shorter stacks were all in against Reynolds preflop just as cards were revealed.
Reynolds:
Short stack #1:
Short stack #2:
The board ran out and the shortest stack scooped the main pot with his , while the other short stack took the remainder with his queen kicker.
Reynolds fell back to 34,000 as a result of the hand.
William Reynolds' seat is now vacant with nothing but green felt in front of it. We can only assume Reynolds busted shortly after losing a good portion of his stack in the previous hand.
