Nikhil "Nik Airball" Arcot raised the pot off a short stack of 315,000 and then called all in when Sam Soverel reraised.
Nikhil Arcot: K♣Q♦J♦3♣ 
Sam Soverel: A♠K♦Q♣3♥
"Wait, is that a Badugi?" Arcot asked and several players at the table nodded. The board ran out J♥J♣2♣6♣6♦ and Arcot doubled with a flush.
"I liked your hand better than mine," he joked and then added, "it's okay, you will get all later."
Moments later, Arcot was leaping back with his chair and fell over entirely to the ground - the video footage may have also been recorded by some spectators on the rail.

Chris Moneymaker’s Main Event run has come to an early end, for this year at least, after a dramatic full-house-over-full-house clash on Day 1a.
Moneymaker got involved in a deep river spot and ultimately made the call, but ran straight into a cooler. It's a tough exit for the 2003 WSOP Main Event champion.

Gruffudd Pugh-Jones and Eelis Pärssinen collided in a hand that saw each player commit 440,000 preflop as they duked it out.
Pärssinen asked for the rest of Pugh-Jones' stack when the flop came K♥4♦9♣ by betting 240,000. Pugh-Jones called to be at risk for his tournament life.
Gruffudd Pugh-Jones: A♥K♦Q♣6♣
Eelis Pärssinen: A♠A♦Q♠2♠
Pärssinen had the edge with his pair of aces, and the 9♦ turn did not change his lead. Unfortunately for Pugh-Jones, the J♠ fell on the river to signal his exit as Pärssinen won the pot.

On a completed board of K♥Q♦6♦6♥7♦ and with roughly 500,000 in the middle, Richard Gryko checked from early position with 260,000 left in his stack. Tomas Ribeiro shoved from the button to put Gryko all in, and after a few moments, Gryko called.
Richard Gryko: K♦7♥4♣3♣
Thomas Ribeiro: Q♠J♣9♠6♠
Tomas Ribeiro revealed a boat which was good to win the pot and bust Gryko, who had two pair.

James Chen: A♦K♦10♣7♠
The 6♣5♠2♣9♥A♥ board gave Glaser aces and nines for the double.

Daniel Negreanu raised to 100,000, Ben Lamb called in the cutoff, and Shaun Deeb came along from the big blind.
The flop came 9♣8♣3♣. Action checked to Lamb, who bet 115,000. Deeb folded, but Negreanu made the call.
The turn was the 10♥. Negreanu checked, and Lamb asked the dealer what was in the pot. The answer was 590,000, and that was what Lamb decided to bet. Negreanu folded, and Lamb asked him if he wanted to see it. Negreanu declined at first, thinking that meant it was a bluff. Lamb told him, "I flatted you with this", and turned over two of his cards, A♠A♣ . That left Negreanu a bit curious about what the other cards were, but Lamb didn't reveal that.

Sean Rafael opened the action with a raise from early position to 145,000. Gergo Nagy chose to raise it to 480,000 in the next seat over. The table folded back around to Rafael, who announced all-in for the rest of Nagy's stack. Nagy put the rest of his stack in the middle for a total of 720,000 to be at risk.
Gergo Nagy: A♠7♠6♣5♣
Sean Rafael: A♥K♠J♥9♠
The flop was just the type of board Nagy was looking for as it fanned out 6♦7♣6♥ to improve him to a full house. The 2♣ turn did not alter the state of the hand, and the 9♥ river was meaningless as Nagy scooped in the chips for a double.
