"Too much! Fold!" yelled Richards before Chatman made the call with a bigger stack.

Dan Zack raised to 13,000 and was called by Gary Bodley from one seat over. Christopher Bissinger called on the button as well before Calvin Kincade jammed for the last 59,000 in the big blind. Zack then moved all-in for more, having previously doubled Jessica Richards, and Bodley snap-called.
"Let me get this right, they are all-in?" Bissinger inquired and it was confirmed to him that Bodley had just called. Bissinger folded and the cards were flipped over.
Calvin Kincade:
Dan Zack: 
Gary Bodley:
The 
flop gave Kincade some hope and that remained to be the case on the 
turn while Zack was drawing dead. However, another blank followed with the 
river and that sent two players to the payout desk.

Jonathan Landis was all-in for 31,000 and Ryan Messick called. Maxx Coleman then jammed for 90,000 on the button and Daniel Strelitz jammed over the top for 309,000 in the small blind. Messick folded and the cards were flipped over.
Jonathan Landis: 
Maxx Coleman: 
Daniel Strelitz: 
"I think I am behind," Landis joked and then saw the board run out 
to provide an unlikely straight for the quadruple up. "Guess it is better to be lucky than good," Landis concluded.

On the stone money bubble, Dan Smith put in a massive raise from the button before Maxx Coleman moved all in from the small blind for around 150,000. Daniel Strelitz moved in behind him from the big blind for around 113,000 and Smith called.
"I've never stone-bubbled a live tournament before," Strelitz said.
"You really want to say that now?!" someone at the table asked.
Daniel Strelitz:
Maxx Coleman:
Dan Smith: 
The flop landed 
to give Coleman a big lead with a set of tens. "Oh my god," Strelitz moaned before the dealer put out the case to give him a better set. "Oh my god!" he said again.
The on the river didn't change anything and Strelitz tripled up to avoid bubbling, while Coleman received a small side pot to also stay alive.

turn for 28,000 out of the small blind and Cowen called.

There was one elimination with multiple other all-in hands but not many of them actually went to showdown, as the dealers were instructed to pause after their current hand was completed.
Daniel Strelitz had tripled his severe short stack with for a full house on a board.
Dominick Sarle then pushed the 
turn for 194,000 against Michael Asti, who tank-folded.
At the same time, Gianluca Speranza jammed a heads-up river of 
out of the blinds. "Alright, I gonna let this pass and fold the best hand," Abbas Alikhani replied and surrendered with an average stack behind.
The action will now continue with hand-for-hand mode on the bubble, and for each hand two minutes will be taken off the clock.
