Bill Mullins began the day by introducing himself to us. He didn't want to be mentioned as "opponent" or "the other player" when he busted out of the tournament. Unfortunately, for Mullins he is getting his wish.
The player in the hijack seat (not Mullins) opened for 2,300 and Olivier Busquet reraised to 6,000. Mullins, on the button and in the middle of a massage, took his time but eventually moved all in for 19,100. The original raiser folded and Busquet asked for a count and then called.

Mullins was ahead going to the 
flop but the 
turn changed his fortune and now he was looking for help to stay alive. He didn't find anything when the river came a and Mullins had to cut his massage short as he left the tournament area.

Following a raise to 2,300, Olivier Busquet made the call from the cutoff along with the small blind to see a 
flop fall.
The preflop raiser continued for 3,600 with Busquet the only caller as the 
landed on the turn and Busquet was now faced with a 8,700-chip bet.
Busquet tossed in two orange 5,000-denomination chips to signify a call as the 
landed on the river.
As Busquet's opponent considered his options, he eventually slid out a bet of 19,300, and before he could release his hand, Busquet snap-folded his hand into the muck.

A player in middle position raised to 3,000, then Noah Schwartz three-bet to 9,100 from a seat over. It folded around to the big blind who leaned forward to get a better look at Schwartz's remaining chips — a little over 23,000 — and he reraised again the minimum to 15,200.
The original raiser folded, and after about 20 seconds of thought Schwartz called the reraise. The flop then came 
, and with little hesitation Schwartz's opponent set out a short stack of orange (5,000) chips, more than enough to cover what Schwartz had behind.
Schwartz tanked for about a minute, then with a determined look finally set out his chips to call. He tabled his , and saw he was ahead for the moment as his opponent had .
Schwartz then faded the turn and river — 
and — and pumped his fist at both his call and the result.
