When we happened upon Table 359, we discovered Erik Seidel with 17,500 out in front of him. Meanwhile, Daniel Alaei had 29,000 out front. Seidel was debating what to do, and eventually moved all in for right around 120,000. Alaei, who barely had him covered, snap-called.
Seidel: 
Alaei: 
It was a bad spot for Seidel, and his best shot of winning was to catch either an ace or diamonds. The 
flop made the diamonds a mute point, and the 
turn meant Seidel needed an ace on the river to survive. The dealer burned one last time and put out the 
, the last card Seidel would see here in Event #20: $3,000 No-Limit Hold'em Shootout.

Players are now on their first 20-minute break of the day.
With around 17,000 in the pot and a board reading 
, Phil "OMGClayAiken" Galfond bet 10,600 from the small blind and Nick Abou Risk paused for a few beats before announcing that he was all in for approximately 40,000.
Galfond didn't seem to like it, and he hit the tank to contemplate his decision. Nearly five minutes ticked by before Galfond told the table, which contained Risk and Stewart Newman, "Sorry guys, it won't be too much longer."
Indeed, another 30 seconds passed and Galfond released his hand.
