When we walked to David Chiu's table, he made a motion with his chips like he might be ready to move all in at any time, so we stuck around to watch for a bit.
Our observation was correct as the first hand that we watched at that table, Chiu did in fact move all in. One player limped under the gun and in the next seat over, Chiu thrust his chips into the pot with authority, moving all in. The player in the seat next to his called. Action folded to the big blind who moved all in over the top with a cover stack. The under the gun limper folded.
"Oops," Chiu said, laughing.
The original caller thought about it for a bit before eventually making the call as well creating a three way all in and chance to tripple up for David Chiu.

"I knew the three was coming!" he said excitedly. "I wish I could run like that in the pot-limit omaha tournament, not here."
We caught up to Erik Cajelais when he had called a preflop all in of another player. Cajelais was holding against his opponents . The board rolled out and Cajelais couldn't catch up. After that hand he was knocked down to just 675 chips and a few hands later he was down to none as he got up from his seat and left the tournament area.

Preflop Shover:
The board ran out and before the river was dealt, the player who shoved all in stood up and yelled, "Ten! One Time!" Unfortunately for him it didn't came as the fell on the river to double up Rheem.
"There we go!" Rheem said. "That makes up for some of the chips that I gave to you with ace jack," he said talking to another player at the table.
Dan Kelly just arrived in the building looking to add to his already impressive resume here in 2013 at the World Series of Poker. Looks like he's giving his opponents a head start here in Event #42 as he's already lost a bunch of chips.
