: 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Matt Berkey limped for 4000 in early position, the cutoff raised to 16,000, the small blind three-bet all in for 45,000, and the big blind came over the top for a four-bet shove, putting all of her 200,000-plus chip stack in the middle.
Berkey folded against all of this action, and eventually it was just the blinds going head to head, with the at-risk player doubling up. His 
hit the set on the 
to take down the big blind's 
.

In a blind-versus-blind battle, the small jammed for 125,000 on a 
board into a similarly sized pot, and Greg Fishberg made the call in the big blind.
Opponent: 
Greg Fishberg:
Fishberg was drawing to two outs to survive, and sure enough, the fell on the river, giving him jacks-full and an unlikely elimination.
"This is the table of bad beats!" a player at the table noted.

: 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Allen Kessler shoved for his remaining 40,000 under the gun, and got a call from the player on his direct left. That player had only 10,000 chips and everyone else folded, so Kessler would survive this hand no matter the runout.
Allen Kessler: 
Opponent: 
Kessler was behind all the way, and no help came as the board ran out 
. The loss put Kessler down to 30,000 chips.
Level 11
: 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante
A player raised to 9,000 from under the gun and was called by the player next to act, as well as Toledo, Ohio's Ray Brint in middle position. Ian Matakis three-bet to 36,000 from the hijack, and only Brint called.
Brint quickly shoved for 146,000 when the 
flop fell.
"Gonna need a moment, guys." Matakis said. He thought for about ninety seconds before announcing, "I'm gonna cap myself. I have two minutes longer," much to the bemusement of the table. He only took a few more seconds before tossing his hand to the muck.

The flop came 
, and the action checked all the way through. The turn came 
, and the small blind fired for 15,000. Jaffee got out of the way and the early position player called.
The river came the 
, the small blind bet another 25,000 and got the call, and showed 
for a full house. The early position player mucked.
