The action was picked up preflop when Kevin Song called the all-in from a player who was short stacked to put the player at risk for his tournament life.
Opponent: 
Kevin Song:
Song's opponent needed help but the board ran out 
and with that pot there hasn't been a bigger stack seen in the tournament.
Song appears to be the chip leader here in Day 1 so far, and the bracelet winner will be looking to make a deep run.
The player under the gun raised to 5,000. He was called by Ebrahim Zaver in middle position and the player in the hijack.
The flop came 
and the original raiser continued for 15,000. Zaver moved all-in having the original raiser covered. The player in the hijack folded and when it got back to the under the gun player he moved the remainder of his chips in the middle putting his tournament life at risk.
Original Raiser: 
Ebrahim Zaver:
Zaver flopped a set. Unfortunately, his opponent flopped top pair to be eliminated.

With about 25,000 chips already in the middle the flop read 
and Maria Konnikova put out a bet of 16,000 in position. Thomas Kubin check-raised to 50,500 from the small blind, forcing Konnikova to a decision.
After giving it some serious thought, Konnikova mucked her hand and asked if Kubin would show. He responded, "I had sixes full." As he gave the cards back to the dealer, face down.
