Donald Nimneh opened to around 155,000 and Yogesh Chidambarnathan, on his left, shoved all-in for around 360,000. Grant Juric in cutoff responded with his own all-in for 525,000, prompting Nimneh to stand up and walk around.
The dealer called out to Nimneh to let him know that since he left his seat, that his hand would be considered dead. A discussion ensued that required the floor to be called. The floor ruled the hand to be dead, leaving Chidambarnathan and Juric to head to showdown.
Yogesh Chidambarnathan: A♠J♠
Grant Juric: A♥K♦
Juric had Chidambarnathan dominated. He retianed his lead on the runout 3♠9♦7♣9♠. His was pushed further ahead when the A♣ dropped on the river, sending Chidambarnathan to hit the rails.

Action was picked up with three players with their cards in the middle of the table.
Ryan Featherstone: K♥K♣
Benjamin Purer: 10♦10♥
Andrew Dubuque: A♣6♣
Featherstone was hoping for a triple up when Purer was pushed into the lead with a set on a flop of 4♠2♠10♠. Both Featherstone and Dubuque didn't get any help with the Q♥ turn. But the K♦ river came returning the lead to Featherstone for a triple up.
Featherstone scooped the pot while Purer won the side pot worth around 610,000, all at the expense of Dubuque.
