Arthur Fleischmann found himself on the button, and called the cutoff's raise to 40,000. Small blind Stuart Taylor then ripped in his stack of 395,000. The original raiser folded, but Fleischmann called "for the hell of it."
Stuart Taylor: A♠K♦ 
Arthur Fleischmann: K♣8♣
The J♦9♣6♣ flop brought a sweat, the 5♠ turn brought more of a sweat, but the A♦ river confirmed Taylor's double up.
Fleischmann then shoved his remaining 70,000 from the cutoff the very next hand, and was called by the big blind.
Arthur Fleischmann: Q♥5♦
Ramana Epparla: J♣8♦
The 8♠2♦A♣4♠6♠ runout sent Fleischmann home.

Boyd Rose raised to 30,000 from the cutoff and David "ODB" Baker reraised to 410,000 from the small blind.
Another player at the table commented to Baker "you know this is 10,000/15,000 right?".
Rose said "I think I have to come along for the ride,” with Baker responding "you don't have to".
Rose moved his remaining 300,000 stack into the middle and the players flipped their cards.
Boyd Rose: K♦Q♦
David "ODB" Baker: A♦10♣
Baker was ahead, but the J♥7♥9♠ flop gave both something to play with.
The 8♦ river improved Baker to a straight, and Rose couldn't recover on the 6♦ river.
