While we didn't catch the entire action of the hand, Jake Schwartz was showing and collecting the last of Day 1 chip leader Sampo Ryynanen's chips as he headed to the payout desk.
Roland Israelashvili had been nursing a short stack for quite some time and moved all in from the button for 5,600 total. As Konstantin Puchkov was thinking from the small blind, Israelashvili said, "Triple me up and watch out," to Puchkov and Lyle Berman in the big blind.
Both blinds called and drew two each, while Israelishvili drew one. Puchkov checked and then folded to Berman's bet.
On the final two draws, both players drew one, and Israelashvili showed , drawing to a five. Berman fanned before he looked at his last card and mucked his hand. Israelashvili turned over his last card for good measure, and it was a for a six.
Martin Staszko raised, and action folded around to Randy Ohel in the big blind. With most of his chips already committed, he labored over whether or not to put in his last 1,000.
"I have to draw five," Ohel said.
"Draw more, win more," Crystal Doan said, who was also sitting at the table.
Eventually, Ohel called and kept his word. He drew five. Staszko took two. On the second draw, Ohel took three, and Staszko took two again.
On the third draw, Ohel stood pat.
"You pat?" Doan asked, surprised.
Staszko, looking frustrated, drew two cards. Ohel turned up for an eighty-six low. Staszko showed and slammed his last two cards over on the table, revealing a and a . Ohel, stood up from the table, shocked. He wished everyone luck and proceeded to the payout desk.

Yosuke Sekiya was the first player to break the rule and received a one-hand penalty. Shortly thereafter, Jared Bleznick got up from his seat, and Eric Wasserson immediately notified the floor, who also gave Bleznick a one-hand penalty.
Just now, Wasserson yelled out to Bleznick (who was sitting two tables away) and asked how many chips he had. Bleznick said, "One ninety".
Bleznick's true count, however, was closer to 290,000.

On the third draw, after both players elected to take one, Staszko showed that he pitched in a which made his queen-high Badugi.
