Bart Hanson was all in from middle position for 170,000 with 
against Brendon Rubie on the button with 
.
The board ran out 
, pairing Hanson's king on the turn to give him the pot.
Andy Hwang just surrendered his seven-figure stack in vexing fashion, and the action on this hand is indicative of the hyper-aggression that has become standard in tournament poker.
The battle began when Hwang opened to 20,000 from late position, and Chris Hunichen three-bet to 52,000. Holding 
, Hwang was not a believer, and his four-bet to 98,000 was designed to fold low pocket pairs and king-high hands. Unfortunately, for Hwang, Hunichen did not hold a hand of either variety, because he elected to five-bet for 152,000 and put the pressure back on Hwang.
Undeterred by the aggression, Hwang made the now standard six-bet to 286,000, and watched as Hunichen simply shipped in the seven-bet all-in for 602,000.
Now Hwang went deep into the tank, thinking over his options for several minutes while contemplating how he had arrived at such a questionable spot. Something must have convinced him that Hunichen was on a move, or perhaps he felt committed to the pot by this point, because Hwang eventually made the call with his ace-rag.
Naturally, Hunichen turned over the only hand Doyle Brunson ever seven-bet in his life: 
.
A final board of 
later, and Hwang's former chip leadership was transferred to Hunichen.

against an opponent's 
, and he was racing for his tournament life. Kuether found a flush draw on the flop of 
, and he hit the turn of 
for the nut flush. Facing a set of nines now, Kuether needed to fade the board pairing to double-up, and the

Next, Kuether shipped his still short stack into the middle with , but was crushed by Ryan Welch and his 
.
Flop: 
Kuether's run good continued as he spiked a set on the flop, and two harmless cards on fourth and fifth street saw him move from 100,000+ to 600,000+ in just two hands.
