Paul Cullen let it go and the players tabled their cards:

Mindaugas Kerbelis then called from his big blind, leaving himself only 1,350,000 behind.
Chhabria confirmed the count, saying "Call," but then said he meant to say "All in."
Sultanbekov, thinking he was headsup, accidentally exposed one of his cards, the .

Tomas Morlet had just been moved to Table #400 when the following hand happened.
Paul Cullen raised to 1,200,000 from middle position and was called by Daniel Gamer in late position.
Tomas Morlet then three-bet shoved his remaining 6,050,000 chips, which got a quick fold from the small blind.
Andrew Johnson, in the big blind, also new to the table and with fewer chips than Morlet, thought about it for about thirty seconds before he folded his hand, which was met by quick folds from Cullen and Gamer.
In a preflop clash between Amer Torbey and David Rasmussen, the chips ended up in the middle before the flop was dealt. Torbey was all in for all of his 17,100,000 in chips and Gugliuzza had him covered.

The dealer slowly dealt and an ecstatic Gugliuzza clapped his hands in celebration.
Amer Torbey opened from the cutoff to 1,700,000 and Femi Fashakin raised it to 4,200,000 from the blinds with around 22,000,000 left behind. Torbey quickly announced all-in and after some consideration Fashakin let it go.
Torbey is still in the chipleader position with a stack around 39,000,000.
