Mike Guttman openend to 1,200 from early position and action folded around to Andre Akkari in the small blind. Akkari announced all in, sliding his chips in the middle. Akkari's shove was barely enough for a min-raise, and Guttman had to put just another 800 in the middle to make the call.
Guttman:
Akkari:
The flop ran out giving Akkari a flush draw but the next two cards were dark, as the turn and river sent Akkari to the rail and his last remaining chips over to Guttman.
A short-stacked player in middle position pushed all in and Greg Mueller pushed all in over the top sitting in the hijack seat. Peter Lewis had the button and took a minute to eye up the stacks of those still to act and to make some calculations in his mind. He made the call and flipped over the best hand by a small margin.

Kitty Kuo opened to 800, and action folded around to Antonio Esfandiari, who called in the big blind. The dealer fanned out a flop, and Esfandiari check-raised a bet of 700 from Kuo, to 2,050. Kuo announced all in and Esfandiari thought for a moment before making the call, putting Kuo at risk.
Kuo:
Esfandiari:
Kuo had flopped a set and had Esfandiari in big trouble. The turn and river changed nothing and Kuo crippled Esfandiari with the double up.
Esfandiari has chipped up a small amount as he shoved preflop the next three hands, winning the blinds and antes.
