Daniel Vo raised to 2,500 from early position and action folded around to the small blind, who three-bet to 12,300. After taking a moment to consider his options, Vo announced all in and his opponent quickly made the call.
Early Position: A?K?
Daniel Vo: A?J?
Vo was out-kicked by his opponent's ace-king, but was drawing very live on the 10?6?6? flop. The Q? turn was exactly what he was looking for and his opponent was left drawing dead. The 4? river changed nothing and Vo scooped in a massive pot.

Early Position: A?Q?
Bassel Zebib: 6?6?
The river was the K? giving the all-in player a straight. Zebib had flopped a set and turned a full house leaving his opponent drawing dead on the river. As a result Zebib was left with one of the largest stacks in the room at 170,000.
