Usually when you play every hand, things do not go your way since you can't win every hand. However, that has not been a problem for chef Darren Woods. He's been playing what can only be described as a 'super-high variance' game that involves him playing around 90% of the hands. He's consistently hit and forced people to play for stacks every time and it's working. He has nearly 600,000 at this point, that's around four times the average.
Now that the bubble has burst there is likely to be a flurry of bust outs. First out in the money was Colin Marks and not long after was Robert Schulz.

There had been a raise before Ciaran Heaney three-bet on the button when Kelly Saxby moved all in from the small blind. The original raiser took a while to decide what to do while Saxby, who was at risk, stood up and awaited her fate for what must have seemed like hours to her. While she waited she told PokerNews that she had used her “One time.”
The original raiser folded and Heaney turned over his . Saxby held the .
The cards ran out and despite using her one time and standing up to leave trick, somehow Saxby was out agonisingly short of the money.
