Matthew Ashton raised from the cutoff and Dapeng Mu three-bet to 6,000 out of the small blind with 25,100 behind. Once the action was back on Ashton, he slid forward his stack of T$5,000 chips, enough to cover Mu by far. Mu took half a minute to consider his options and called all in.

Level 8
: 500/1,000, 100 ante
On one of the feature tables, a huge three-way pot has played out that saw Sebastian Pauli eliminated while Larry Smalley (pictured below) nearly tripled up at the expense of Pauli and Adams.
Smalley was dealt 
under the gun and appeared to raise as Pauli and his called from a few seats over before Brandon Adams three-bet the small blind to 22,000.
Smalley responded by moving all in for 88,700 before Pauli committed what appeared to be roughly 55,000 in chips. Adams had both players covered, and he called holding 
.
Smalley:
Adams:
Pauli:
With Smalley appearing to have a stranglehold on the hand, the dealer dropped a 
flop to give Pauli outs to backdoor diamonds.
The turn, however, would end all hope for Pauli and Adams as it fell the 
, and when the river landed the 
, Pauli was eliminated while Smalley more than doubled to 225,000 in chips.

There was a raise from early position and four other players called including Uri Reichenstein from the big blind. The flop came 
and the action was checked to the preflop raiser. He bet 3,000 and was called by the cutoff, only to have Reichenstein check-raise to 13,500. The player in early position folded and the cutoff made the call.
The turn was the and Reichenstein bet 24,500, which his opponent called after a couple moments. When the landed on the river, Reichenstein moved all in for 180,000. His opponent had just 125,000 behind, and so calling would put his tournament life on the line.
He thought, he thought, and he thought some more. Nearly 10 minutes had passed and Reichentein's opponent could only muster a look of agony on his face. Finally, another player in the hand called the clock and the floor came over to give him 30 seconds to act. The countdown reached zero and his hand was declared dead.
"Show the bluff, show the bluff," you could hear coming from all around the table.
"I can't," answered Reichenstein as he scooped a massive pot.

Picking up the action after the river of a board with roughly 38,000 in the pot, the player in the big blind bet 20,000. Niall Farrell raised all in with a covering stack from the button, sending his opponent into the tank for his remaining 60,000-ish for about three minutes before he folded.
