Tim Adams got his last 20,000 or so all in preflop and found himself in a bad spot against Sam Stein.
Adams: 
Stein: 
Adams was in desperate need of a five for a set, but instead the flop came down 
to give Stein a set. Adams needed running cards to stay alive, but the turn took away any chance of that happening. The 
was put out on the river for good measure, and then Adams grabbed his backpack and exited out the side door.

In one of the last hands of Level 10, we happened upon a hand in progress with around 30,000 in the pot and a board reading . Igor Kurganov was in the cutoff debating what to do, and that's because Canadian Steven Kerr had the all-in button out in front of him on the button.
Kurganov had about 35,000 in his stack, and he thought long and hard before committing it to the pot.
Kurganov: 
Kerr:
Kurganov had made the wrong decision, but he could still win with either a jack or ten on the river. The dealer burned one last time and put out the . Close, but no cigar for Kurganov.
"Good luck guys," he offered before collecting his things and exiting the tournament area. With that, Kerr is now up to 200,000.
Level: 12
Blinds: 600/1,200
Ante: 200
