The original raiser tanked for a bit before folding, but the other player remaining in the hand called and was also all in.

A player raised it to 3,500 from early position and was called by the button-player. With action on Jason Oloughlin in the small blind, he decided that 9,000 was the price to pay, which was too rich for his two opponents and they mucked their hands.

Action folded around to Jeremy Liu in the cutoff and he raised it to 3,500. The player on the button then made it 10,500 to go, and with action back on Liu he made the call.
Liu checked the 
flop, and then check-called the 7,000 continuation bet from his opponent. After Liu checked again on the 
turn, his opponent slid out a healthy bet of 18,500. Liu responded with a check-raise all in and his opponent folded.

Charles Sewell:
Yoshiya Agata:
Sewell saw that while he was drawing dead to the flush, he could hit one of the three remaining eights in the deck to have a chance to survive. He did just that on the 
turn, but unfortunately for him it was followed by the 
on the river and he was sent to the rail.

Action was picked up on the flop on a board reading 
in a three-way pot. Ladislav Cerveny, first to act, checked and the player in the next seat over bet out 7,000, which was called by the third player in the hand.

Cerveny made the call and was at-risk for his tournament life.
Ladislav Cerveny:
Opponent: 
Ladislav was on the right side of a cooler and needed his hand to hold, which it did on the turn and river.
In the second hand Cerveny's opponent from the previous hand, now under-the-gun and short-stacked, moved all in, and when action folded around to Cerveny, he made the call from his big blind.
Ladislav Cerveny:
All-in Player:
The all-in player tabled pocket queens in back-to-back hands, which was good enough for a chop on the runout.
