We caught up with the aftermath of the following hand that left Shannon Shorr with merely 2,000 in chips:
Shorr: 
Player 1: 
Player 2: 
The board fell 
and the second player scooped the pot with deuces full of tens.
Juha Vilkki raised from early position to 2,000. The player two to his left had about 16,000 behind and made a re-raise to 7,200. Action folded to the big blind who moved all in for about 22,000. Vilkki made the call, as did the player behind him and all three hands were turned up.
Vilkki: 
Opponent 1: 
Opponent 2: 
Vilkki didn't exactly have the best of it against his two opponents but still had a chance them both out. And the flop would get him all the way there when it landed 
. The nut straight would hold when the 
and 
completed the board and Vilkki shipped the pot.
The table was very surprised when he showed his hand and even more surprised when it won. They playfully gave him a hard time about it after the other two players left. When PokerNews asked him to spell his name, the man sitting to his immediate left interrupted and said "D-O-N-K-E-Y!" Vilkki just laughed, something not hard to do when you're stacking a tournament leading 135,000 chips.

Under the gun, David Chiu raised to 1,800 and got called by the cutoff and big blind. The flop came 
and the first player checked to Chiu who bet 4,200. The player in position made the call and the third player got out of the way.
The turn was the and both players checked. The river was the and Chiu quickly checked again. After some thought, the player in position put in about two-thirds of his stack with a bet around 11,000. Chiu quickly flashed 
for a broadway strait before mucking his hand.
As the hand was being played, the remaining players were putting their chips in some racks as the table was being broken. While it may have influenced Chiu's decision to fold so quickly, he won't have the opportunity to get his chips back for the time being.
Jeffrey Lisandro managed to get his stack all in preflop against his opponent while holding 
. His opponent held .
The board fell 
and Lisandro was ousted by his opponent's trip kings.
We caught up with the action because of the crowd gathering around table #11. Chips seemed to be strewn everywhere throughout the middle of the table and four players were all in preflop, three of which were at risk for their tournament life. The hands were turned over as follows:
Player 1:
Player 2:
Michael Bena: 
Sumanth Reddy: 
Confused yet? Well the flop came down jetting Reddy and Bena into the lead with sets of sixes. The turn and river came 
and 
causing Bena's set of sixes to scoop the side pot, while the main pot was awarded to Sumanth Reddy, whose sixes full of queens proved to be the best hand. We lost two players on this hand, but the drama wasn't over there. The floor was there to supervise the penalties of two players for their actions during the hand, including hand winner Sumanth Reddy. Reddy received a seven hand penalty for exposing his cards with action pending, and another player at the table received a seven hand penalty for touching another player's cards.
After the high drama of that hand, the remaining players at the table were then made to play five-handed for a short while due to penalties and bust outs.
In a three-way hand, Jason Mercier bet the rest of his chips on a flop. The next player to act, Rob Shortway, made the call and a player in the blinds folded.
Mercier:
Shortway: 
Mercier began walking away from the table immediately and after the turn he stopped for a quick second before sprinting when the hit the river.
Shortway is nearing the six-figure mark with that pot.
