We caught Bryan Micon move all in before the flop only to be called by another player at the table. Micon was not at risk though, as he had a covering stack.
Micon: 
All In Player: 
Micon was in big trouble and he needed to catch up to win the pot. Fortunately for him the board ran out 
giving him the winning set. "The Icon" has moved way up the chip counts after the lucky on the turn.

On the second deal of hand for handplay, our Day 2 chipleader, Mark Wahba, opened from the cutoff for 2,600. The button folded and Zohar Spivack, from the small blind, went all in for his final 18,600. After talking to Spivack for a while, Wabha decided to call. When the hands were tabled, Spivack had Wahba dominated and hope was alive.
Zohar Spivack:
Mark Wahba: 
It was not meant to be for Spivack as a 
was dealt on the flop giving Wahba the lead. The turn and 
river did not improve Spivack's hand and he was eliminated 199th place and has earned the title of Event #14 Bubble Boy.

When hand for hand play started, Michael Katz only had about 9,000 chips, putting him on the brink of elimination.
After hand for hand was over, Katz is now sitting with a healthy stack of about 42,000 after doubling up twice.
In the first hand, a player in the one seat opened to 3,300. Katz shoved from the button for his last 8,900 and after thinking about it, the player in the one seat called. Katz was way ahead with his but he still had a little sweat as his opponent was holding . The board ran out 
giving Katz his first double up.
In the second hand, Katz was all in and at risk again. This time he held 
against his opponent's . Much more of a sweat for Katz. It only got worse when the flop fell 
. Lucky for Katz, the turn was the and the river was the 
, giving him his second double up.
He is now sitting right back around average stack after being at risk twice during hand for hand play.
