Brian Rast raised to 11,500 in middle position and Patrick Leonard reraised to 111,000 in the big blind, leaving just 1,000 behind. Rast then moved in and Leonard called off his last chip.

In a recent hand, Alex Foxen opened to 12,500 on the button and was called by David "ODB" Baker in the small blind. Eric Wasserson then shoved for 125,000 from the big blind, which got a call from Foxen and a fold from Baker.

Wasserson drew one and Foxen stood pat.

Eric Wasserson: 8x5x4x3x All in
Alex Foxen: Jx7x5x3x2x
