Event 1: Come on, just one?

$500 Buy-In + $60 Entry Big Stack No Limit Hold'Em (Re-Entry)

Blinds 40K/80K Ante 10K

It's usually never a good idea to let your chip stack get down to only three big blinds. One, it doesn't really scare anyone off when you move all in. Two, even if you double up you're still in pretty much the same position you were in before. That being said, having some chips is better than having no chips and as long as you're alive you have a shot. This was the thinking of one short stacked player when he moved all in with Q♠T♠. Unfortunately for him he was called by the TT. "Queen of hearts," the all in player begged. No lady on the flop "Queen of hearts," he pleaded. No lady on the turn. The river... the Q. "That's my girl."

We're down to four tables of nine - a total of 36 players. The average chip stack is 2.5 million. The action is getting intense and poker players being the curious type are looking to get any advantage they can. After one particular hand where a player four bet shoved and induced a fold, everyone at the table started pleading for him to show his hand.

"Show"

"Show one?"

"Come on..."

"Show the ace!"

The player mucked and the others were left to wonder exactly what he had.
