Havens Leaves Elet with a Chip and a Chair
Level 30
: 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Paul Havens raised to 250,000 and it folded around to David Elet in the big blind who moved all in. Havens made the call and thought that he had Elet covered.
Paul Havens: 
David Elet: 
The board ran 
and as Havens was collecting the pot, the floor had already been called for Elet to collect his payout slip. Elet was walked to the cage before it was realized that he still had 15,000 in chips and was called back to the table by the floor, with a watching player yelling "chip and a chair!"
Four players have since been eliminated giving Elet a decent chip and a chair story, as he moved up the money counts and is still alive.

Late Stages Favouring Skrovan
Level 30
: 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
John Skrovan has built a lead-challenging stack with 51 players still remaining. His last hand on the table before it broke involved preflop raiser Novica Muskovic.
Muskovic opened for 320000 (the blinds now a steep 60,000/120,000) and Skrovan placed a stack of 800,000 out as a raise. The raise needing to be at least double the bet, this was strictly 40,000 too little; the floor ruled that a full bet had to be made.
On the 
flop, Muskovic led out for 315,000 and Skrovan raised to 800,000. Muskovic folded, saying he had ace-king; Skrovan said he'd held pocket tens.

A player in early position made it 250,000 before a player in late position reraised all in for more than 1 million in chips, folding out the initial raiser. However, David Elet had no choice but to show down as he only had enough for the big blind.
David Elet: 
Opponent: 
The board ran out 
keeping Elet's tournament hopes alive.
Five people have been eliminated since the earlier incident (scroll down to three posts) where Elet was all but out the door, getting called back by the floor because he had three chips left. A total of 15,000 in chips. Elet has now moved up the prize money ladder and is guaranteed at least $8,941for his efforts and is still going.

.
The board ran out 
and although originally Wisehart misread a card's suit and thought that Youngman had made a flush, he won the hand with two pair and collected the pot.
