Carlos Saucedo shoved his short stack of 1,500,000 from the button, and Mukul Pahuja wasted no time jamming over the top from the small blind with a much larger stack. The rest of the table quickly stepped aside to let the showdown unfold.
Carlos Saucedo: A♣6♣
Mukul Pahuja: J♣10♥
The board came out with J♦Q♥10♦3♦7♠, and Pahuja won with a pair of jacks.
Saucedo went on a wild run in this tournament—at one point reduced to a single red 5,000 chip, he spun it up with grit and guts to a remarkable 14th-place finish.

Gary Wilkes moved all in from middle position for 4,750,000 and Alex Parades moved all in for 6,500,000 from late position and the blinds folded.
Gary Wilkes: A♣J♠
Alex Parades: A♦A♠
Parades woke up with aces and was looking to get closer to the final table.
On a board of 5♣2♥Q♠ hopes were looking slim for Wilkes.
The turn card was the 8♠ which nullfied any chances Wilkes had to draw out on Parades.
A river card of 7♠ which changed no outcome for Wilkes sent the pot to Parades and Wilkes home with a 15th place finish.

Chad Cullimore, aka "Cowboy Chad", raised in early position to 1,700,000, and John Reading moved all in from the hijack for 4,750,000, and Dustin Apperson followed suit in the cutoff and called for the same chip amount. Cullimore made the call for a chance to knock out two players.
John Reading: A♥Q♠
Dustin Apperson: A♠K♦
Chad Cullimore: Q♠Q♥
The board ran out in favor of the cowboy with J♠8♠J♣5♦9♥, and Cullimore's two pair landed a win. Both Apperson and Reading both had the same chip amount, so they split the prize equally.
