Pot-Limit Omaha 8 or Better
With registration now closed, tournament lives are on the line potentially in any given hand.
Case in point as on a 
flop, Scott Bohlman bet 25,000 into Michael Dreese, who only had 29,000 in front of him. Dreese moved all-in and Bohlman called.
Michael Dreese: 
Scott Bohlman: 
Bohlman's aces were ahead until the 
fell on the turn giving Dreese both the flush and the better low. The 
changed nothing on the river, giving Dreese a double-up.

No-Limit 2-7 Single Draw
Phil Hellmuth raised to 1,600 from the small blind into Anthony Ribeiro, who called. After Hellmuth drew one card, Ribeiro patted his hand.
Hellmuth thought briefly then opted to check. Ribeiro checked back, and Hellmuth said "You win".
Ribeiro showed 
which indeed was the winner, leaving Hellmuth short, with just 20,000 chips.
After the hand, Hellmuth said to Ribeiro, "Kid, warn me when there's six minutes left (in the level)", suggesting that he may make an effort to get the last of his chips in before late registration closes.
Hellmuth then continued, "There's only one problem. I'm allergic to getting my money in bad."

Five Card Draw High
Action was picked up after the draw, which according to Roland Israelashvili, saw Bob Mather draw two cards versus Israelashvili's pat hand.
Mather led out for 5,000 and was raised to 20,000 by Israelashvili. Mather moved all of his roughly 25,000 chips forward, and Israelashvili instantly called.
Mather showed trip queens, while Israelashvili showed an ace-high flush, eliminating Mather from the tournament, though he'll have about one hour to re-enter the tournament should he choose.
