Gregory Orlick shoved for 125,000 from early position and Kai Hsu called in middle position. Dylan Wilkerson also called from the big blind.
The action was checked to the river on the 10♦K♠10♥A♥J♦ board, where Wilkerson checked and Hsu fired out 80,000. Wilkerson snap-folded.
Orlick then showed 2♣2♦, which was no match for the K♦10♣ of Hsu, who flopped a boat.

The action started before the flop when Brady Osterman moved all in for 300,000 and was called by David "ODB" Baker in late position. The players tabled their cards and headed to a runout with one player at risk.
Brady Osterman:10♦10♥
David "ODB" Baker: Q♦Q♣
Baker's big pocket pair held the lead and held strong as a clean runout of 2♦4♦5♣K♦A♦ sent Osterman to the payout cage.

Antony Hallam did his best four corners in running out the clock before going all in against Ching Da Wu. He glanced at the flop 5♦7♥2♠, then stared at the clock, waiting patiently for a player to bust so there would be a pay jump were he to lose the hand. Wise move.
Antony Hallam: K♥J♥
Ching Da Wu: 2♦2♣
Da Wu flopped a set of deuces and it held through the river and turn 10♠Q♣.

Life Outside Poker is a podcast for PokerNews hosted by Connor Richards that seeks to pull back the curtain on poker players and allow viewers and listeners to get to know them on a personal level.
In the 29th episode, Connor talks with actress and high-stakes poker player Jennifer Tilly about the 20th anniversary of her World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet win, high-stakes cash games, the recent cancellation of Chucky, Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, voicing Bonnie Swanson on Family Guy, dating poker pro Phil Laak, and her goal of getting into the Poker Hall of Fame.
Tilly also revealed that she tried to stop her ex-husband, Sam Simon, from creating The Simpsons and told the story of how she was nearly the voice of Marge Simpson.
The action folded to John Barley on the button who went all in for 250,000. Sebastian Medina called from the small blind.
John Barley: K♣7♣
Sebastian Medina: K♠10♣
The board ran out Q♦4♣3♦8♥7♠, and the seven on the river saved Barley's tournament life.
On a neighboring table, Jed Friedman went all in from under the gun for 500,000 chips. Action folded around to Mateusz Moolhuizen in the big blind, who called for slightly less.
Mateusz Moolhuizen: A♦Q♦
Jed Friedman: K♠Q♥
The board read J♣10♣8♦J♦9♣ and the rivered king-high straight for Friedman ended Arnaud's tournament run.
